About

The thighs are probably one of my favorite parts of the chicken. Unlike the breast, they are more forgiving if you overcook them. I love the ratio of skin to meat. Everyone knows crispy chicken skin is the best! In this recipe, I call for my Gochujang BBQ Sauce, which is slightly spicy. Feel free to substitute another sauce if you want less heat.
