The recipe

Instructions

  1. 1
    Whisk together the gochujang, soy, honey, vinegar, crushed garlic, grated ginger and sesame oil.
  2. 2
    Pour over the chicken thighs in a bowl. Massage in. Marinate at least 20 minutes (or up to 24 hours).
  3. 3
    Heat the grill to high. Lay the chicken on a rack over a tray and grill for 8 minutes per side, basting with leftover marinade halfway.
  4. 4
    The glaze should be sticky and slightly charred at the edges — keep an eye in the last 2 minutes.
  5. 5
    Rest for 5 minutes. Scatter with spring onions and sesame seeds. Serve over rice with kimchi.
