Korean Chicken

Cooking Korean Chicken is a relatively straightforward task, but still, people often get tangled up with various aspects of it. The most common questions arise around the key ingredient, gochujang (or Korean chili paste), acquiring it, and understanding the level of spiciness it brings. Another area where people often get confused is getting the marinade mix right. Perfecting the craft of Korean Chicken also involves mastering the cooking method, grilling vs stir-frying vs baking and knowing how each impacts the flavor, tenderness, and succulence of the chicken. Where do they often go wrong? Sometimes people marinate for too short a time, resulting in less flavorful chicken. Also, not letting the chicken rest after cooking, can result in loss of juices. To get the most out of Korean Chicken, ensure you marinate the chicken for at least an hour, if not overnight. While an unorthodox tip, adding a splash of sparkling water to the marinade can tenderize the chicken! Use bone-in, skin-on chicken for a delightfully crunchy, juicy dish. Finally, remember to let your chicken rest before digging in to retain the juiciness your painstaking marinade has imparted.
