Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe. I made this recipe by myself at home and I had never eaten this delicious BBQ before.
I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed this recipe! Awesome!
I am making this for my family for the first time tonight! LOVE the video, as it’s so easy to follow along! I am not close with my mother (who is korean) ….. so it is so so so WONDERFUL to be able to learn korean cooking from you!! Thank you!
Can this marinate overnight? Or will it be too spicy? Thank you!
Yes, you can marinate it overnight.
I absolutely love this marinade and this flavour! Is this used for anything else in Korean cuisine like pork, beef, fish etc? I want to explore how it can be used!
My husband was so surprised when I fixed the Spicy Korean Chiken. He thought we were having plain old BBQ chicken. We both loved the flavor and juiciness!!!!

It looks amazing! I can almost smell the smoky yummy chicken! Congratulations!
We made this tonight! I used boneless skinless chicken thighs. I reserved some of the marinade to use as additional sauce after (so it wouldn’t get chicken-y), and it was delicious on anything we put it on. We also made your quick bulgogi recipe, and shredded zucchini pancakes. I wish I had remembered to take a picture before everyone dug in. I love making Korean food at home, even though it’s sometimes challenging with a soy allergy in the house. Thank you for making Korean food so accessible. ;)
Making this and 오이소박이 김치 for my birthday tomorrow! I can’t wait! Thanks for the great recipe as usual <3
This is the most amazing BBQ recipe I’ve tried in a long time! I made a double batch, served it with leftover Japchae, my daughter prepared tteokbokki and had spicy kimchi on hand. Yes.. we used your recipes for Japchae and tteokbokki, also amazing! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!
I made this last night using chicken thighs I had on hand. I soaked the chicken in buttermilk for a few hours instead of regular milk cause that’s what I had on hand. anyhow. I marinated the chicken for 4 hours in the sauce. it turned out very juicy and a little tangy from the buttermilk. it was a hit! remember to grill on medium low, and watch it! mine got a little charry on medium.

omg! yummy yummy! It looks so juicy and I can almost taste it!
Hi Maangchi! Love your sunglasses in the video! And the chicken looks delicious: sweet, sticky and spicy! Can’t wait to try this!
Thank you very much, Inge! : )
This sounds delicious, but I have to ask; how long will gochujang last in the refrigerator, Maangchi-ssi? Mine has been in there for some time and I’m worried it will go bad before I use it all! Help?
Gochujang will last FOREVER in the refrigerator, as long as you don’t contaminate the container whenever scooping some out to use in recipes or as a dip. Use a clean spoon and you should be just fine. It’s still usable after the “expiration” date as well. Like I said, it doesn’t go bad; it’s a fermented paste.
Maangchi: “My legs are on fire!!!” Lol. Of course they are! And the BBQ chicken looks great, too!
