Made"Korean Thunder Chicken" this past weekend. Was amazing! Wife and kids at the entire thing up. I was worried the char would make it taste burnt, and I was wrong!. It adds to the flavor in this recipe (maybe because of the sugar content from honey in the marinade?).

From: halalpitmasters.com

Ingredients:
  • 3/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 heaping tablespoon Korean chili paste (gochujang)
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
  • 6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 whole chicken, cut into parts with skin.
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds
1. Whisk together: soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, Korean chili paste (gochujang), grated fresh ginger, garlic,
2. Divide the mixture and pour half over chicken and reserve half for Lighting Sauce
3. Marinate and let it sit overnight or at least 3 hours.

Lighting Sauce – for use after it is grilled:
4. Take the reserved half and add 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, 1/2 tsp Freshly ground black pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds

Cooked on my XL Big Green Egg at 400 degrees. Direct 5-7 minutes per side to develop char, then indirect until internal temperature hit 165 (about 30-40 minutes).

Sorry about that. I didn't realize that rule. I'll be more mindful.
Let me know if my latest edit is ok.
