I think I got this off of Allrecipes.com. We call it our "Bourbon Chicken" though. It is wonderful grilled, and then boil up the marinade thoroughly to serve over sticky rice with some Kimchi on the side. YUM! Preparation time doesn't include marinating over night.

Provided by Bobby Flay

Time 4h50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 heaping tablespoon Korean chili paste (recommended: gochujang)
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
6 cloves garlic, chopped
1 green onion, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
1 (3-pound) chicken, butterflied, cut into parts
4 (6-inch) flour tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Whisk together the soy, vinegar, honey, chili paste, ginger and garlic in a bowl and divide the mixture in half. Add 1 half to a large baking dish, then add the chicken, turning to coat. Cover and let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours. Add the green onions, sesame oil, black pepper and sesame seeds to the remaining half of the mixture. Reserve it as a dipping sauce for the finished chicken.
  • Light a grill, making sure to include a zone of indirect heat.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and put it over the charcoal, skin side down. Grill until the skin is golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Relocate the chicken to the indirect heat zone, lower the cover and grill until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the grill to a cutting board and carve. Arrange the chicken on a serving platter and serve wrapped in tortillas, if desired, with dipping sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts. These cuts are more tender and flavorful than chicken breasts.
  • Make sure the chicken is well-marinated: The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Use a variety of spices: Korean BBQ chicken marinade typically includes a combination of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and gochujang (Korean chili paste). You can also add other spices, such as sesame seeds, black pepper, or red pepper flakes.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Korean BBQ chicken is best when it is cooked quickly over high heat. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Korean BBQ chicken is often served with rice, noodles, or vegetables. You can also serve it with a dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or gochujang sauce.

Conclusion:

Korean BBQ chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
