To be honest guys, I'm not sure what the correct name is for this chicken. I've asked around and i've gotten a few different answers. I basically decided to try and create a similar chicken I had at a restaurant called Ssam. The correct term for the chicken I ended up making is still to be determined. lol. But none the less, here is the recipe...
Ingredients:
-2 pounds boneless chicken thigh
For the marinade:
-3 tablespoons Korean red chili pepper flakes gochugaru, 고추가루
-1 tablespoon sugar
-3 tablespoons soy sauce
-2 tablespoons rice wine or white wine
-2 tablespoons gochujang, 고추장
-2 tablespoons honey or 3 tablespoons corn syrup
-2 tablespoons maesil chung 매실청 (or 2 to 3 tablespoons pineapple juice or grated apple)
-1 tablespoon sesame oil
-1/4 medium onion grated (about 1/4 cup)
-2 tablespoons minced garlic
-1 tablespoon grated ginger
-1/2 teaspoon salt pepper to taste
For the garnish:
-2 tablespoons chopped scallions for garnish
-1 teaspoon sesame seeds for garnish
Directions:
Step 1- Trim off excess fat. Cut each chicken thigh in half crosswise. Cut open any thick parts.
Step 2- Combine the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Step 3- Coat the chicken with the marinade. Marinate for a few hours (preferably overnight) in the refrigerator.
Step 4- Preheat a lightly oiled grill over medium high heat. When hot, add the chicken pieces. Cook until cooked through and slightly caramelized, about 4 to 6 minutes each side. Reduce the heat if the chicken starts to burn. You can also cook the chicken indoor on a grill pan or in a skillet
**You can always cook the chicken in an iron skillet if you don't have a grill. It will still taste great!**
