Recipe

Clean the chicken by removing bones and spreading out the breast, thigh, and wing pieces while keeping the skin intact.
Rinse the yuzu paste lightly with water to reduce excessive sweetness, then blend it with green chili peppers in a blender or mixer.
Add perilla oil to the mixture and blend until smooth, creating a fresh, spicy-sweet, savory gochujang yuzu sauce.
Just before grilling, season the surface of the chicken with salt and pepper for marinating.
Lightly coat a pan or grill with cooking oil, then place the chicken skin-side down to start grilling.
Do not flip frequently—grill one side (especially the skin) thoroughly until crispy, then flip and cook the other side until fully done.
Slice the well-cooked chicken and serve with plenty of the prepared gochujang yuzu sauce.

Prepare chicken pieces, spreading them out while preserving the skin.
Blend rinsed yuzu paste, chili peppers, and perilla oil to make the sauce.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper before grilling.
Grill the chicken skin-side down on a pan with oil until golden and crispy.
Serve the crispy chicken with the sauce on the side.

Cooking tips

Season the chicken with salt just before grilling to prevent moisture loss and ensure juiciness.
The gochujang yuzu sauce tastes best when freshly made—avoid pre-making and aging it, as freshness preserves aroma and prevents raw notes.
For thicker cuts like thighs, score the meat to help it spread evenly and cook through uniformly.
