How To Make chicken in a hot chili sauce

  • 1
    Cut the chicken into 3-inch pieces. Divide the wings.
  • 2
    Mix the chicken parts with the sugar and marinate for 1 hour or more (the sugar is a tenderizer).
  • 3
    Mix together all the other seasonings -- garlic, scallion, ginger, soy sauce, gochu jang, sesame oil and sesame seeds. Mix well, add to the chicken, and marinate for another hour.
  • 4
    Pour the 1/2 cup of water into a pan and bring to a boil.
  • 5
    Add the chicken and marinade and simmer, covered, over low heat for about 1/2 hour, which is enough to cook the chicken and evaporate nearly all the liquid. Stir the mixture once or twice during this process.
  • 6
    Serve warm with rice, salads and kimchi.
