- Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
- Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, and shake off any excess sauce.
- Melt the butter in the skillet and then add the chicken.
- Cook the chicken for 10 - 15 minutes, making sure to flip halfway through, making sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F before removing from pan.
- Set the chicken on a cutting board or plate to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing to serve.
NOTES
Notes on this recipe from Jess:
- You can make this with chicken breasts if you prefer, but she thinks the flavor of thighs are best with this recipe.
- The chicken crisps up and browns in a skillet because of the addition of brown sugar in the marinade. If you prefer to grill it outside instead, either option works.
- To make the cucumber kimchi: Simply mix together 1 thinly sliced English cucumber, 1 tbsp. kosher salt, 1 tbsp. Gochugaru (Korean chili powder/flakes), 1/2 tsp. Sugar, and 2 tbsp. chopped scallions.
