Very Easy Grilled Korean Chicken

In terms of the ratio of things my kids love to things that are incredibly easy, this dish is the absolute winner.  It takes all of six minutes to prep, and all of my kids love it.  I use it with chicken breasts here, but it can also be used with thighs, salmon, steaks, or pork tenderloin.

Grilled Korean Chicken


1.5 lbs skinned, boneless chicken breast, cut into 2-3 inch strips
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
4 garlic cloves, minced



  1. Mix together all of the ingredients except the chicken together in a small bowl.
  2. Lay out chicken on a large plate and rub each piece with mixture.  Be sure to do both sides. 
  3. Start your grill.
  4. Allow chicken to sit for half an hour, more or less. 
  5. Grill 3-4 minutes each side until juices begin to run clear and chicken is just firm to touch.
