- Hi, everybody.
Today's recipe is chicken,
soy butter grilled chicken.
Sounds good?
I use chicken thigh.
Here you go. (chuckles)
Butter flavor, the grilled chicken.
It's so tasty.
I have posted so many chicken recipes.
All of them are spicy,
but this is going to be non-spicy,
and also more kind of a healthy way because we grill this.
Lots of children will love it
and some people who can't eat spicy food, it'll be perfect.
Plus, if you don't want to fry anything
this is going to be right recipe for you.
Chicken thigh, this is for 4 servings
and it's 2 pounds.
I'm going to trim this some yellow fat.
And cut,
cut like this.
Just not too small pieces but big chunks.
about 2 inch x 1 inch size.
It's now much cleaner, isn't it?
(paper rustling)
(water flowing)
I washed my hands.
I'm going to add some milk here.
Whenever I make chicken, I use this method.
1 cup milk.
Refrigerate this for 30 minutes,
and then the chicken is going to be tenderized
and all kind of gamey smells will go away
then we are going to grill this.
Meanwhile, I'm going to make sauce.
For 2 pounds of chicken,
and I want to use 4 large garlic cloves per each pound.
So 8 large garlic cloves,
and 1 or 2 teaspoons of ginger.
I'm going to mince all of these.
(water flowing)
Garlic and ginger,
and we need soy sauce, 3 tablespoons.
Three.
1/4 cup Rice syrup.
1 teaspoon ground black pepper.
Now mix this.
If you cannot find rice syrup,
you can also use corn syrup or maple syrup,
any type of syrup or even sugar or honey.
When we grill this, it'll make the chicken a little bit shiny
and look more appetizing.
milk marinated chicken.
I'm going to drain this.
Put it back.
I got rid of all excess milk.
And I'm going to dry out a little bit.
The sauce
and marinate.
And I'm going to cook just right now!
I'm heating my grill pan over medium high heat,
but I will wait until this pan is really, really hot
so that we can start cooking with "chee..." sound,
you know what I'm saying? (chuckles)
1 tablespoon cooking oil.
Chicken. (chicken sizzling)
Some leftover sauce, I will add it later.
Then turn down the heat to medium.
And cover.
It already smells good!
5 minutes later you can turn it over.
Turn up the heat to medium high heat.
Let's add the leftover sauce.
Rotate your meat with your tongs
and put some sauce from the bottom to the top.
Keep doing this for 5 more minutes.
I told you we need to use butter.
Butter really enhances flavor.
It's time to use it.
After 10 minutes cooking, add butter like this.
(chicken sizzling)
Until the butter is well melted, coated it.
Wow, smells so good!
This butter is a key point.
(chicken sizzling)
with a wooden skewer.
Look at this, it comes out clean.
You can serve just like this
or you can transfer to a nice bowl.
We also need to garnish with green onion.
Not only does it garnish, it tastes really good together.
Butter and soy sauce always smell good.
(bright upbeat music)
I'm having this with my beer.
It's a non-alcoholic beer. (chuckles)
Too much bubble. Ooh.
Oh, so good.
Look at this.
This is for you guys.
You guys can make it.
This recipe actually has a history, long time history.
When I was in university,
we usually met boys like on a blind date,
university versus university.
"Okay, 10 people from our university are going to come."
"So 10 boys from your university are coming"
We randomly made a pair at the meeting, on the spot. (chuckles)
One time we had a kind of a picnic party,
so picnic blind date.
My grandmother, was excited to hear that,
"Oh, you are going to make a lunch box.
I'm going to help you."
So my grandmother,
I was always thought that my grandmother's
cooking skill was number one.
Actually my mom and grandmother,
these guys are more excited than me.
They were cooking and making Korean small pancakes,
including this.
But at that time there's no butter available.
My grandmother used margarine.
No butter was available for ordinary people.
My grandmother made chicken this way.
I modified the recipe a little.
but made it this way.
It was Three or four tiers lunchbox and big huge.
And one entire part was
this chicken.
And another part was a small
side dishes and rice.
I put this huge lunchbox in my backpack
and I went to picnic to meet all my friends.
During the lunchtime, we shared it together.
I even don't remember my partner's face,
but I remember this chicken.
Isn't it funny?
I just forget what he looked like.
My grandmother's chicken was so popular.
I just enhanced the taste by using this butter.
I've shared many of my recipes with you guys.
Some recipes have a lot of stories.
and remind me of lots of people.
My grandmother is not anymore in the world,
but I always think about her great cooking skill
and her passion for me to be popular with lunchbox!
Which one?
Okay, this one.
See?
a big chunk.
Mm.
Chicken thigh taste juicy and tender,
but, but I like to eat this with kimchi!
I feel like eating kimchi.
You can make lunchbox with this. Put it on the rice,and
chicken with kimchi.
It will go well together.
Today I shared my recipe for soy butter grilled chicken
and in Korean, (ganjang beoteo dak-gui).
Enjoy my recipe.
See you next time.
Bye! (bright upbeat music)
