Instructions
Creating Easy Chicken Bulgogi is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, minced ginger, and gochujang if using.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into thin strips for quicker marination and cooking.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
4. Heat the Grill or Skillet: Preheat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. If using a grill, lightly oil the grates.
5. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
6. Garnish: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a serving plate. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
7. Serve: Serve the Easy Chicken Bulgogi hot, either over a bed of rice or wrapped in lettuce leaves for a refreshing bite.
These steps ensure that you create an amazing dish that is as enjoyable to make as it is to eat.
