One of my favorite condiments, gochujang, that gorgeous bright red Korean paste that adds a ton of flavor when it joins any party… Brown food is not exactly photogenic, so don’t let the looks deceive you, these were delicious, and quite easy to prepare.

GOCHUJANG GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS
(from The Bewitching Kitchen)

6 to 8 chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
For marinade:
1/4 cup gochujang
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Combine all the ingredients for the marinade in a small bowl.

In a large bowl or Ziploc bag, add the chicken thighs and the marinade. Toss well to combine until all the pieces are well coated. Marinade in the fridge for a couple of hours if you have the time, if not, 30 minutes will do.

Grill the chicken thighs 5 to 7 minutes per side, until fully cooked. Remove the pieces to a serving platter, cover with aluminum foil and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

ENJOY!

Comments: In that particular evening, I grilled half of the pieces of chicken using this marinade and half using a simpler concoction (olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper), which is Phil’s favorite. We were both very happy with our meals, for my taste the gochujang marinade is near perfect, spicy but not too much, super flavorful.
