You'll have the family completely raving!"
Dak Bulgogi (Korean Barbeque Chicken)

With this Korean BBQ, you get the savory sweet flavors that bulgogi marinades are known for, only with tender, juicy chicken thighs instead of beef. "In order to get that single flat steak cut from the chicken thigh, it actually takes some precision and some knife handling skills," says mykoreaneats. "But all that peeling, deboning, cutting, and marinating is all worth it. Serve this with a bunch of Boston/Bibb lettuce, garnished with scallion strips."
