Time 4h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 heaping tablespoon Korean chili paste (recommended: gochujang)
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 green onion, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
1 (3-pound) chicken, butterflied, cut into parts
4 (6-inch) flour tortillas, warmed

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade. The marinade is what gives the chicken its delicious flavor, so make sure it's packed with flavor. This recipe uses a combination of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil, but you can use any marinade you like.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavor it will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the better.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from burning. If your grill is too hot, the chicken will cook too quickly and won't have a chance to develop its full flavor.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature of the chicken using a meat thermometer.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Grilled Korean-style chicken can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Grilled Korean-style chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful sauce and then grilled to perfection. It can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. Whether you're cooking for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, grilled Korean-style chicken is sure to be a hit.
