Marinade

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onions, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until the brown sugar is fully dissolved.

Chicken Preparation

  1. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer everything to a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 4

    Let it Rest

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.

Serving

  1. 5

    Plate and Garnish

    Slice the grilled chicken and arrange it on a serving platter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and additional sliced green onions for garnish. Serve warm.
