Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Granulated erythritol
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 3 medium, minced Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon, grated Ginger
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 2 medium, chopped Green onions
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing the marinade. In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, granulated erythritol, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes.

Step 2

Whisk all ingredients together until the erythritol has dissolved and the marinade is well mixed.

Step 3

Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish, then pour the marinade over the chicken.

Step 4

Seal the bag or cover the dish, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to penetrate the chicken. For best results, marinate overnight.

Step 5

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the marinade. Allow any excess marinade to drip off before placing the chicken on the grill to avoid flare-ups.

Step 7

Grill the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is fully cooked, juicy, and has a nice char.

Step 8

While the chicken is grilling, prepare the garnish by chopping the green onions and lightly toasting the sesame seeds if desired.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with the chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Step 11

Serve the Low Carb Korean BBQ Chicken with your choice of low carb sides, such as steamed broccoli or cauliflower rice.
