Ingredients

• 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs (~3 lb, can sub bone-in)

• 3-4 tbsp of minced garlic (jarred, ~two heaping spoonfuls. can sub with 2-3 minced cloves if fresh)

• 3-4 tbsp of gochujang (~two heaping spoonfuls)

• 1/4 cup water

• 1/4 cup soy sauce

• 2 dashes fish sauce

• black pepper

Recipe

• Score the chicken, deeply and against the grain

• Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, add chicken and ensure it is thoroughly covered in marinade

• Cover the bowl, let rest for at least a few hours, ideally overnight or longer.

• Lay chicken on a wire rack, over a foil-covered pan. Reserve any excess marinade.

• Broil chicken on either side for ~3-5 minutes, this burns easily, so keep an eye and flip when it’s getting close.

• Brush chicken with leftover marinade, and bake at 400F for upto 10 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the chicken.
