Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Marinade

  • ¼ cup gochujang paste
  • 3 tbps coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • ½ medium yellow onion
  • 4 garlic cloves

Spicy Gochujang Sauce

  • 2 tbsp gochujang paste
  • 3 tbsp coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce

Lettuce Wrap Toppings

  • lettuce of choice romaine, butter or green leaf lettuce
  • white rice
  • avocado

Instructions
 

Grilled Korean BBQ Chicken

  • In a food processor or blender, combine all the marinade ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour the marinade over the chicken thighs in a large bowl or zip-top bag, making sure they’re well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
  • Preheat your grill to 350℉ and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the marinated chicken thighs on the grill and cook for 7–8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. For extra flavor, baste the chicken with any remaining marinade while it grills.

Spicy Gochujang Sauce

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gochujang, coconut aminos, honey, and oyster sauce until smooth and well combined. Set aside until ready to drizzle over the lettuce wraps.

Assemble the Lettuce Wraps

  • Layer each lettuce wrap with a spoonful of white rice, slices of grilled Korean BBQ chicken, fresh avocado, and a generous drizzle of the spicy gochujang sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy every flavorful bite!

Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store any leftover Korean BBQ chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm it gently in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until heated through. You can also reheat it in the air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes for a slightly crisp exterior.
