Ingredients
- 3 to 4 tablespoons Gochujang
- 1 teaspoon Gochugaru Korean hot pepper powder
- 2½ tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 8 to 10 chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
Instructions
- Combine the gochujang, gochugaru, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and seasonings to a small bowl and mix to combine.
- In a large bowl or Ziploc bag, add the chicken thighs and the marinade. Toss well to combine until all the thighs are coated. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
- Heat the grill to 400ºF or oil a stovetop grill pan and place over medium-high heat.
- Place the chicken thighs, smooth-side down.
- Cook the chicken thighs smooth side down for 4 to 5 minutes on one side.
- Flip and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. Cook time will vary a bit depending on the size of your chicken thighs so use an instant read meat thermometer to check for doneness.
- When done, remove the chicken thighs from the grill/pan and transfer them to a plate. Cover the chicken with aluminum foil to let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
