Chicken Bulgogi
Description
The recipe for Chicken Bulgogi begins by marinating chicken thighs in a mixture combining soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, minced garlic, sesame oil, and onion powder to develop a sweet-savory flavor. The marination time is at least 30 minutes in the fridge to allow absorption of the flavors. Cooking involves heating a neutral oil in a cast iron pan over medium-high heat, then searing the chicken thighs until cooked through and developing a slight char by flipping once or twice.
Resting the cooked chicken for 5 to 10 minutes after cooking helps retain the juices, aiding tenderness and moistness. The result is tender and flavorful chicken with a glossy, caramelized exterior. The recipe focuses on simplicity and highlighting the marinade’s balance without additional sauces or garnishes in this version.

Instructions

- In a large cast iron pan over medium-high heat, heat up the cooking oil and once hot, add the chicken thighs into the pan, smooth-side down.
