Method

1. 1 Make two incisions down to the bone in the chicken thighs, then marinate with gochujang, gochugaru, garlic, ginger, and soy sauce for 4 hours.
2. 2 Do not add honey during the marinating process; only use it as a final brush-on because the sugar will caramelize before the chicken is cooked through.
3. 3 Grill over medium heat for 20 minutes with the skin side facing up.
4. 4 Flip and cook for another 15 minutes; gochujang sauce burns easily, so flip every 4 minutes.
5. 5 Brush the honey and sesame oil mixture twice during the last 5 minutes.
6. 6 Sprinkle with roasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions, then cut into pieces with scissors right on the grill.
