Is this a traditional Korean BBQ chicken recipe?
This is a chicken thigh recipe that uses Korean flavors. To achieve the taste associated with Korean food, we use gochujang, a delicious Korean chili paste. Do you have a favorite BBQ chicken recipe? Summer for me is all about taking it easy so any barbecue chicken recipe needs to simple and quick to make. This gochujang chicken tops my list. It checks all the must have boxes:
Super fast to make. Full of flavor. Makes few or no dishes. A healthy recipe my whole family will love.
I like to serve this Korean BBQ chicken with a simple side green salad. If your family loves rice (which is everyone but me in my family) then put on a pot of rice before you put the chicken on the grill. The extra gochujang BBQ sauce is delicious over the rice!
