Korean Gochujang BBQ Chicken
These Korean style barbecued chicken thighs came out nice and crispy, juicy on the inside and the Korean Gochujang Raspberry BBQ sauce glaze was fantastic. We first brushed the thighs with olive oil and salt and pepper and did a quick sear on the grill prior to adding the bbq sauce, to get the skin nice and crispy and to keep the bbq sauce from burning. The trick is to add the bbq sauce towards the end of cooking to allow it to make a wonderful Korean sticky glaze.
