- 2 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, gochujang, honey, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- Remove chicken from marinade (discard excess marinade) and grill for 6 to 7 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to retain juices.
- Slice into strips and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
- For the best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Ensure the grill is hot before adding chicken to get those perfect sear marks.
- Discard any marinade that has touched raw chicken; do not use it as a finishing sauce unless boiled first.
- Pairs perfectly with steamed white rice or inside lettuce wraps.
