Juicy and flavorful grilled chicken thighs flavored with a savory Korean marinade of soy sauce, brown sugar, and gochujang.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs bone-in skin-on chicken thighs
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red pepper paste)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped (for garnish)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, gochujang, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Place the chicken thighs into a large ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well-coated.
  3. Seal the ziplock bag and refrigerate for at least two hours, but preferably overnight for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Take the chicken out of the fridge and let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  5. Grill the chicken thighs skin-side down for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden-brown.
  6. Flip the chicken and baste with the leftover marinade. Continue grilling, monitoring the internal temperature, until it reaches 165°F.
  7. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with finely chopped green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Marinate overnight for the best flavor. Allow chicken to rest after grilling for juiciness.
