Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into bite-sized pieces
0.5 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 cloves garlic minced
1 inch fresh ginger grated
0.5 tsp black pepper

For Grilling

1 tbsp vegetable oil

Garnishes (Optional)

sesame seeds
sliced green onions

Instructions

Preparation Steps

In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper for the marinade.
Add the cut chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove chicken from the marinade, letting any excess drip off. Discard the remaining marinade.
Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred. The exact cooking time will depend on the size of your chicken pieces and the heat of your grill.
Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions, if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

This Korean Bulgogi BBQ Chicken can be served with rice, steamed vegetables, or in lettuce wraps for a complete meal. Adjust the brown sugar for a sweeter or less sweet marinade.
