Ingredients
Scale
- 6 chicken thighs (boneless, keep the skin on)
- 2 cloves of garlic (grated)
- 3 stalks of green onions (white and green parts separated)
- 2 tbsp gochujang paste
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
Instructions
- Debone the Chicken: Ensure there are no bones in the boneless chicken thighs for a tender finish.
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine the grated garlic, gochujang paste, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
- Mix the Marinade: Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in the marinade, making sure they are completely coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes — longer if you can!
- Cooking Options: Choose your preferred cooking method: grill, bake, or pan-sear the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
Notes
For optimal flavor, marinate the chicken for at least one hour, or even overnight. Adjust the gochujang based on spice preference.
