Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.25 cup Tamari (gluten-free soy sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste, gluten-free)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 4 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the tamari, gochujang, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and honey. Mix well to form a smooth marinade.

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Place the chicken in a shallow dish or a zip-top bag, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for more flavor.

Step 4

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 5

Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for later use.

Step 6

Cook the chicken on the preheated grill for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 7

While the chicken is grilling, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan. Bring it to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Once the chicken is done grilling, brush it with the thickened marinade.

Step 9

Garnish the grilled chicken with thinly sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with your choice of sides such as steamed rice or lettuce wraps.
