Ingredients
– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
– 1/4 cup soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
– 1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean red chili paste)

Instructions
Creating mouthwatering Chicken Bulgogi is easy when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, gochujang, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar dissolves.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken into thin strips and add it to the marinade. Ensure each piece is coated well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for deeper flavor).
3. Heat the Grill or Pan: Preheat your grill or a frying pan over medium-high heat. If using a pan, add a little oil to prevent sticking.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off. Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
5. Add Vegetables (Optional): If you’re using sliced vegetables, add them to the pan in the last few minutes of cooking to stir-fry alongside the chicken.
6. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the chicken from heat. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and presentation.
7. Serve: Transfer to a serving platter or serve directly from the pan.
