KOREAN-INSPIRED GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Combine sugar, soy sauce, water, onion, garlic, pepper, and sesame oil in a blender; process until well blended.
• 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.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
• 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).

KOREAN GRILLED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together the soy, vinegar, honey, chili paste, ginger and garlic in a bowl and divide the mixture in half. Add 1 half to a large baking dish, then add the chicken, turning to coat. Cover and let the meat marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours. Add the green onions, sesame oil, black pepper and sesame seeds to the remaining half of the mixture. Reserve it as a dipping sauce for the finished chicken.
• Light a grill, making sure to include a zone of indirect heat.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and put it over the charcoal, skin side down. Grill until the skin is golden brown and crisp, about 10 minutes. Relocate the chicken to the indirect heat zone, lower the cover and grill until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the grill to a cutting board and carve. Arrange the chicken on a serving platter and serve wrapped in tortillas, if desired, with dipping sauce on the side.
