Step 1

Combine the gochujang, gochugaru, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and seasonings to a small bowl and mix to combine.

Step 2

In a large bowl or Ziploc bag, add the chicken thighs and the marinade. Toss well to combine until all the thighs are coated. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.

Step 3

Heat the grill to 400ºF or oil a stovetop grill pan and place over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Place the chicken thighs, smooth-side down.

Step 5

Cook the chicken thighs smooth side down for 4 to 5 minutes on one side.

Step 6

Flip and cook for another 4 to 5 minutes. Cook time will vary a bit depending on the size of your chicken thighs so use an instant read meat thermometer to check for doneness.

Step 7

When done, remove the chicken thighs from the grill/pan and transfer them to a plate. Cover the chicken with aluminum foil to let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing.
