Gochujang Chicken Thighs

These Korean Chicken Thighs are so easy to make on the grill or on a grill pan. These thighs come together with only a few ingredients and are packed with flavour.

📝 Ingredients

• 3 to 4 tablespoons gochujang
• 1 teaspoon gochugaru (Korean hot pepper powder)
• 2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 8 to 10 chicken thighs ((boneless, skinless))

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Combine the gochujang, gochugaru, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and seasonings to a small bowl and mix to combine.
2. 2In 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.
3. 3Heat the grill to 400ºF or oil a stovetop grill pan and place over medium-high heat.
4. 4Place the chicken thighs, smooth-side down.
5. 5Cook the chicken thighs smooth side down for 4 to 5 minutes on one side.
6. 6Flip 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.
7. 7When 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.
