Chicken Bulgogi (Korean BBQ Chicken)

Ingredients:

• Boneless skinless chicken thigh
• Chicken bulgogi (Korean BBQ chicken) sauce

For Sauce:

• gochujang (Korean chili paste): an essential Korean cooking ingredient
• gochugaru (Korean chili flakes), optional
• soy sauce
• light brown sugar
• Korean corn syrup (or plain corn syrup)
• garlic
• ginger puree
• sesame oil

Directions:

Pound chicken thigh with a meat hammer. This will tenderize chicken and help cook the chicken faster and more even.

Mix all the seasoning ingredients in a large mixing bowl to make the paste.

Add chicken and toss well to coat the chicken with the seasoning. I recommend to let it sit in a room temperature for 10 minutes while you are preheating the oven to broil.

Grease a cooling rack and place it on a large baking sheet (lined with piece of foil for easy clean up). Put chicken pieces and broil for 4-5 minute per each side until the surface is slightly charred and chicken is fully cooked.

The oven shelving should be about 5-6 inch below the heat source. Watch carefully so that you don’t char the chicken too much.

Cut up the chicken into a bite size chunks for easy serving. Transfer on a serving dish and garnish with perilla leaves or chopped green onion.
