Instructions
For the rub:
- Combine olive oil, paprika, garlic salt, and sugar in a medium size bowl. Stir well to combine then add the chicken and turn several times to coat. I like to use my hands to massage the rub into the chicken.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or as long as 24 hours.
For the glaze/sauce
- Combine all ingredients in a medium-size sauce pan and stir well. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 -7 minutes, until sauce thickens and is reduced by about one half. (Maintain a steady, medium boil but reduce the heat a bit if the mixture boils up too high.) Taste and if you’d like it a little spicier, add another tablespoon of Gochujang. Repeat to taste. Set aside to cool down.
For grilling the chicken:
- Heat a grill to high (500-600˚F). Clean and oil the grates.
- Place the chicken on the grill; cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side, or until golden brown. Flip to the opposite side and brush the cooked side with some of the glaze. Grill the second side for 3-4 minutes then flip and brush with the glaze. Continue cooking for 1-2 minutes more on each side, brushing with the glaze after flipping until the chicken is browned and nicely charred in spots.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve any extra sauce with the chicken.
Notes
- See Café Tips for further instructions and more detailed tips.
- See the post for options on how to serve this chicken.
- This recipe should serve six, but my family eats it like candy and we probably get 3-4 servings.
