Korean-Inspired Grilled Chicken Thighs
Description
Chicken thighs get bold Korean-inspired flavor from a long soak in a sweet, soy-based marinade in this easy barbecue recipe that can be used on any type of chicken.
Ingredients
•
1 cup white sugar
•
1/2 cup soy sauce
•
1/2 cup water
•
1/4 cup minced onion
•
2 tablespoons minced garlic
•
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
•
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
•
4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Directions
1
Combine sugar, soy sauce, water, onion, garlic, pepper, and sesame oil in a blender; process until well blended.
2
Put chicken into a large glass or ceramic bowl. Pour marinade over top and toss to evenly coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours.
3
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
4
Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
5
Cook chicken on the preheated grill until slightly crisp on the outside, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, about 4 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
