Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
- 4 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Grated ginger
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 2 pieces Chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine coconut aminos, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey, gochugaru, and salt.
Whisk the marinade ingredients until well combined and set aside.
Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs and place them in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and discard the marinade.
Grill the chicken thighs for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and are nicely charred.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving platter and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds over the chicken.
Serve hot with steamed rice or your favorite Korean side dishes.
