2 tablespoons minced garlic

½ teaspoon sesame oil
4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs

  • Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill until slightly crisp on the outside, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 4 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade.
  • Use a hot grill: This will help to sear the chicken and make it juicy.
  • Don't overcrowd the grill: This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute and make the chicken more tender.

Conclusion:

Grilled Korean-style chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and savory flavor, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
