Ingredients

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.

DAK BULGOGI (KOREAN BARBEQUE CHICKEN)

Dak Bulgogi (Korean Barbeque Chicken) image

In order to get that single flat steak cut from the chicken thigh, it actually takes some precision and some knife handling skills. But all that peeling, deboning, cutting, and marinating is all worth it. I got the savory sweet flavors that bulgogi marinades are known for but made even better with the tender and juicy thighs that were soaked overnight. Serve this with a bunch of Boston/Bibb lettuce, garnished with scallion strips.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs
½ cup soy sauce
½ apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
1 tablespoon brown sugar
3 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon gochugaru (Korean chile powder)
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

Peel skin from chicken thighs and trim off excess fat. Cut each into single flat 'steak,' working around the bone. Save any smaller pieces for cooking as well. Rinse thighs under cold water, removing any film. Place in a large bowl.
Pulse soy sauce, apple, sugar, garlic, sesame oil, gochugaru, and ginger together in a food processor until marinade is smooth.
Pour marinade into the bowl with the chicken and stir to coat. Pierce the chicken with a skewer for extra absorption, if desired. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 6 to 12 hours.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and add to the skillet. Cook and stir until no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Transfer thighs to a serving plate and garnish with sesame seeds.
