🙋 Recommended for

  • For those who want to experience the essence of crispy-on-the-outside, moist-on-the-inside grilled chicken
  • For those looking for a new chicken recipe beyond fried chicken or boiled chicken soup

Ingredients needed 🛒3 servings

  • Chicken
  • Yuzu marmalade
  • Cheongyang chili pepper
  • Perilla oil
  • Salt

Recipe 🍳

  1. Trim the chicken (breast, thigh, wings) ensuring the skin stays attached, remove the large bones, and spread it out flat.
  2. Rinse the yuzu marmalade lightly in water to reduce the strong sweetness, then put it in a blender with the chili peppers.
  3. Add perilla oil and blend to make a spicy, sweet, and savory fresh chili yuzu sauce.
  4. Just before grilling, season the surface of the prepared chicken with salt and pepper.
  5. Lightly oil a pan or grill grate, place the chicken skin-side down, and grill.
  6. Do not flip too often; cook one side (especially the skin) thoroughly until crispy, then flip and cook through to the inside.
  7. Cut the well-grilled chicken into serving pieces and dip generously in the prepared chili yuzu sauce.
  1. Trim the chicken, keeping the skin intact, and spread each piece flat.
  2. Blend the rinsed yuzu marmalade, chili peppers, and perilla oil to make the sauce.
  3. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  4. Oil a pan and cook the chicken skin-side down until golden brown.
  5. Serve the crispy grilled chicken with the sauce.

Cooking tips 💡

  • Season the chicken with salt just before grilling to keep the juices in and ensure delicious results.
  • The chili yuzu sauce should be made fresh rather than aged to preserve its fragrance and avoid a green taste.
  • For thicker cuts like thigh meat, score and flatten them to ensure even cooking through.
