For a richer flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of white sugar. Adjust the amount of hot chile paste (gochujang) to your desired level of spiciness. Start with a smaller amount and add more to taste. This marinade is best when used immediately, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For optimal flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight.

May 3, 2024Be careful with the chili paste! I added 4 teaspoons and it was HOT! Next time I'll start with 2 and adjust from there.

Nov 25, 2023I found it a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the sugar by 1/4 cup. Perfect!
