The marinade typically includes soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil, and it gives the chicken a slightly sweet and savory flavor.

DAK BULGOGI (KOREAN CHICKEN BULGOGI)
This is a very easy recipe and one that I love to make. Bulgogi means fire meat in Korean and is traditionally cooked on a grill or over an open flame. Chicken doesn't stand up well to this kind of treatment so it is pan fried.

Steps:
- Cut the chicken into 2 inch x 1 inch pieces.
- In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients together except for the chicken until the sugar has dissolved. Coat the chicken pieces with the marinade. Marinate for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Preheat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, reserving the marinade. Cook until slightly browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side.
- The sugar and honey in the marinade will burn easily, so watch it carefully and add the reserved marinade 1 tablespoon at a time when the pan gets dry. If needed, reduce the heat to avoid burning.
- Remove from the heat and serve immediately. Options for serving include lettuce wraps with a dollop of ssamjang (spicy wrapping sauce) or doenjang (soybean paste), your choice of salad or as a side dish along with a bowl of rice.

Steps:
- Peel off thigh skins by hand (if you're strong enough) or with paring knife. Trim off excess fat. Cut into one single "steak" piece working around the bone. Save smaller pieces for cooking as well. Rinse thighs under cold water while removing outer film and slime. Set aside in a large mixing bowl. Pulse the marinade ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Coat the chicken pieces with the marinade. Marinate overnight in the refrigerator or a minimum of 6~12 hours. With a skewer or toothpick, piercing the thighs for extra marinade absorption is optional. Preheat a skillet or non stick pan over medium heat. Add the chicken thighs and cook for about 15~ 20 minutes or until cooked through. To ensure fully cooked thighs, use a meat thermometer and check for a reading of 165-170°F. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with scallion strips. Enjoy! *If there is extra marinade sauce, adding near the end of cooking will give the thighs extra flavor. Do not add until the very end otherwise it will burn/char the thighs because of the sugars in the marinade.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Opt for fresh, free-range chicken and select vegetables that are in season for the best flavor.
- Slice the chicken against the grain: This helps tenderize the meat and ensures even cooking.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and results in a more flavorful dish.
- Cook the chicken over medium-high heat: This helps sear the meat and create a slightly crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender and juicy.
- Serve with a variety of sides: Dak bulgogi can be served with rice, noodles, or vegetables. It also pairs well with a variety of dipping sauces, such as soy sauce, gochujang, or ssamjang.
Conclusion:
Dak bulgogi is a delicious and versatile Korean dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or as part of a larger meal. It's a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With its bold flavors and simple preparation, dak bulgogi is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
