Ingredients & Equipment You’ll Need
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup Korean BBQ Sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- Scallions and sesame seeds (for garnishing)
You’ll need a good knife for the chicken and a standard grill for cooking it up.
The Korean BBQ Sauce is the heart and soul of this dish. It’s a mouthwatering blend of soy sauce, pear juice, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and chili paste. It gives the chicken its iconic, intense flavor.
And hey, if you don’t have Korean BBQ Sauce at hand, no worries! Just mix soy sauce, brown sugar and a little bit of sriracha to substitute it. Let’s rock and roll!
How To Make Korean BBQ Chicken
- First things first, marinate the chicken. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, Korean BBQ Sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Let it soak up all that goodness for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, shaking off any excess marinade. Grill the chicken for about 7 minutes on each side, or until it’s cooked through and beautifully charred.
- Tada! You���re almost there. Plate the chicken, garnishing it with scallions and sesame seeds.
Tips For The Best Results
- Marinate your chicken for as long as possible. The longer it soaks, the more flavors it absorbs.
- Keep the heat at medium-high and don���t rush the grilling process. We want it golden and nicely charred.
Storage Tips
- In an airtight container, the BBQ chicken will last for 3-4 days in the fridge.
