CHICKEN BULGOGI

Easy Korean BBQ Chicken (Chicken Bulgogi) Recipe.

Provided by Sue

Categories     Main

Time 4h20m

Number Of Ingredients 9

450 g chicken thigh ((1 pound), (I used boneless skinless thigh, but you can use other chicken cuts of your choice.))
3 Tbsp soy sauce (, regular)
1.5 Tbsp brown sugar
1 Tbsp rice wine
1/4 cup Sprite ((alternatively , 7 Up or other carbonated lemon-lime soda could be used.))
1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger
1 tsp sesame oil
ground black pepper

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.

Freshly ground black pepper

Reserve it as a dipping sauce for the finished chicken.
  • Light a grill, making sure to include a zone of indirect heat.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and put it over the charcoal, skin side down. Grill until the skin is golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Relocate the chicken to the indirect heat zone, lower the cover and grill until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the grill to a cutting board and carve. Arrange the chicken on a serving platter and serve wrapped in tortillas, if desired, with dipping sauce on the side.
