Ingredients
Method
Marinate the chicken:
- Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar (or honey), sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili flakes, vinegar, black pepper, and salt. Add the chicken thighs and toss to coat. Cover the bowl and marinate for at least 30 minutes (refrigerate for up to 8 hours for deeper flavor).
Preheat the grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Brush or spray the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken:
- Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard the used marinade). Place the chicken thighs on the grill, smooth-side down first. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Rest and serve:
- After grilling, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Slice the chicken or leave whole. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Serve with rice, in wraps, or on its own!
