Ingredients

Chicken and marinade

  • 1/4 cup whiskey
  • 1/4 cup gochujang
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 5 cloves garlic grated, smashed, or pressed
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs

Serve with

  • rice
  • grilled zucchini
  • kimchi

Instructions

  • Mix all the chicken ingredients (except the actual chicken) in a measuring cup. Put the chicken into a large bowl and lightly salt it. The marinade is salty so go light with the actual salt. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Marinate for at least 2 hours or as long as 12.
  • Slice the zucchini into quarters, lightly salt, and brush with olive oil. Light the grill. Cook the chicken on medium to low heat for about 30 minutes until tender and nicely charred on the outside. Cook the zucchini for about 10 minutes on all sides until tender.
  • Serve with the rice and kimchi, and of course, more scotch.
