Recipe: 2020 Bulgogi Marinade for Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs

Bulgogi Marinade for Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs.

You can have Bulgogi Marinade for Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs using 9 ingredients and 4 steps. Here is how you achieve it.

It's 4 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken thighs.
Prepare 1/2 of a small apple, finely grated using a microplane or fine cheese grater (or you can use 1/4 cup apple sauce).
It's 1.5-2 Tablespoons of minced garlic (about 3 or 4 large cloves).
It's 1/3 cup of white sugar.
You need 1/4 cup of mirin.
You need 1/3 cup of + 2 Tablespoons soy sauce.
You need 2 Tablespoons of toasted sesame oil.
You need 2 of green onions chopped (green and white parts).
Prepare of optional: 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger or 1.5 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root.

I usually just throw everything into a large mixing bowl and get in there with my hands, gently tossing and massaging until all the seasonings are evenly distributed. If you prefer, you can mix all the marinade ingredients in a separate bowl, stir or whisk until all the sugar is dissolved, and then pour it over the chicken thighs and mix..
I like to marinate it for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. Right around 6 to 8 hours is the sweet spot for me, where all the chicken takes on great flavor, but the texture of the meat hasn't taken on cured qualities and is tender, juicy, and still chicken-y. :).
Because it is dark and somewhat fatty meat, you'll want to grill over a medium low heat for 5 to 7 minutes per side, depending on the size of the thigh piece. Watch for flareups as the caramelized marinade mixed with the melting chicken fat hits the coals..
Enjoy!.
