Steps:
- Cut the chicken into bite size pieces. (If grilling, prepare it according to your grill type and your preference.)
- Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix them well. Pour it over the meat. Cover and marinate it for at least 4 hours or overnight in the fridge to deepen the flavor. You can certainly marinate it for a lot shorter time, but the chicken will be less flavorful.
- Cook the chicken over a well heated skillet. (If grilling, cook the chicken following your grill manual.) Do not add the leftover marinade. (I use a slotted spoon to minimize the marinade transfer.) Sizzle both sides of chicken over medium high heat then reduce the heat to medium until the chicken is fully cooked.In the mean time, boil over the leftover marinade in a separate sauce pan for 2-3 mins over medium high heat, stirring occasionally. Sieve through any excess fat and undesirable pieces from the sauce. Set the sauce aside.
- Serve. Glaze the sauce over the chicken.

DAK BULGOGI (KOREAN CHICKEN BBQ)
Steps:
- Rinse chicken pieces. Trim off excess fat. Cut each of the chicken pieces into small sizes (about 2-inch long and 1-inch wide). If you want to use this recipe for outdoor grilling, cut the chicken into larger pieces and marinate longer. Double (or triple) the recipe as needed.
- Mix the marinade ingredients in a bowl until the sugar has dissolved.
- Coat the chicken pieces with the marinade. Marinate for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat a skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken pieces, reserving the marinade. Cook until cooked through and slightly caramelized, about 2 minutes each side. (The sugar and honey in the marinade will burn easily, so watch it carefully and add the reserved marinade by tablespoon when the pan gets dry. You can slightly reduce the heat to avoid burning, if needed.)
DAK BULGOGI (KOREAN BARBEQUE CHICKEN)
In order to get that single flat steak cut from the chicken thigh, it actually takes some precision and some knife handling skills. But all that peeling, deboning, cutting, and marinating is all worth it. I got the savory sweet flavors that bulgogi marinades are known for but made even better with the tender and juicy thighs that were soaked overnight. Serve this with a bunch of Boston/Bibb lettuce, garnished with scallion strips.

Steps:
- Peel skin from chicken thighs and trim off excess fat. Cut each into single flat 'steak,' working around the bone. Save any smaller pieces for cooking as well. Rinse thighs under cold water, removing any film. Place in a large bowl.
- Pulse soy sauce, apple, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, gochugaru, and ginger together in a food processor until marinade is smooth.
- Pour marinade into the bowl with the chicken and stir to coat. Pierce the chicken with a skewer for extra absorption, if desired. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 6 to 12 hours.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and add to the skillet. Cook and stir until no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Transfer thighs to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds.

DAK BULGOKI (CHICKEN BULGOKI)
If you love spicy Korean food this recipe is for you! I cook the chicken and sauce down until it is thick and rich. You can get the Korean red pepper paste in most all Asian Markets. I marinate the chicken in the same saucepan I use to cook it in. Cooking time does not include marinating overnight.

DAK BULGOGI (KOREAN CHICKEN BULGOGI)
This is a very easy recipe and one that I love to make. Bulgogi means fire meat in Korean and is traditionally cooked on a grill or over an open flame. Chicken doesn't stand up well to this kind of treatment so it is pan fried.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dak bulgogi will be. Look for fresh, tender chicken, and use a good quality soy sauce and gochujang (Korean chili paste).
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender. If you have time, you can marinate the chicken for up to overnight.
- Cook the chicken over high heat: This will help to caramelize the chicken and give it a slightly smoky flavor. Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will become tough.
- Serve the dak bulgogi with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for dak bulgogi include rice, kimchi, and japchae (glass noodles stir-fried with vegetables). You can also serve it with a dipping sauce, such as ssamjang (a thick, spicy paste made from soybeans and fermented chili peppers).
Conclusion:
Dak bulgogi is a delicious and easy-to-make Korean dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it can be served with a variety of sides. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give dak bulgogi a try!
