Spicy Korean Barbecue Chicken Recipe
Tired of your standard grilled chicken? Spice things up with Great Canadian Griller Recipe Contest runner-up Roger Amsinga’s Spicy Korean BBQ Chicken!
Roger’s recipe uses Gochujang, a popular Korean fermented chilli paste, to amp up the spiciness of this exotic dish. Mirin, a type of rice wine similar to sake, tempers the spice and adds a hint of sweet, while a splash of sake adds a depth of flavour we just had to share.
