Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Cook the chicken thighs only 60–70% through while rendering the skin fat, then finish in the sauce to keep them juicy and prevent dryness.
  • Stir-frying the rice cakes, large green onion, and gochugaru in the chicken fat first infuses the whole dish with deep flavor and a smoky wok aroma.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to recreate restaurant-style Zicova charcoal-flavored seasoned chicken at home.
  • Those who enjoy eating the chicken first and then stir-frying rice in the leftover sauce.
