This Grilled Korean BBQ Chicken Recipe is a dinner that, was a hit with, everyone in the family! Truthfully this ended up being one of those recipes where I was like oh let’s try this and let’s try that. Thankfully the old lady takes notes as I go because this is one recipe that will be recreated.

Now I was given a 12 Piece Set of Spiecology spices for Christmas. I had never had them before, and it’s easy to say I am hooked! I love that they are a small business out of Spokane, WA, meaning they are PNW as well!! You can also grab their spices from Amazon (See them -> here) or their website. We found Mother Plucker in a coastal town, and I plan to order a couple more out of the Sasquatch Line of Spiceology; so good on smoked chicken.

Grilled Korean BBQ Chicken Ingredients:
- Chicken Breasts– I used boneless skinless chicken breasts, but you can use boneless chicken thighs or even bone-in breasts or bone-in thighs.
- Sesame Oil– If you don’t like the taste of this oil you can use olive oil in it’s place.
- Minced Garlic
- Korean BBQ Spiceology
- Ginger Paste
- Teriyaki Sauce– I tend to grab the Soy Vay brand or Yoshida’s brand.
- Soy Sauce
- Sesame Seeds
- Green Onion
How To Make BBQ korean grilled chicken
Generously coat both sides of your chicken breast with the sesame oil, then place in the container. If you don’t like this oil, you can substitute it with olive or avocado.
Sprinkle your chicken breasts with the seasonings, Teriyaki sauce, and spices.
Cut up some green onions to place on top of the chicken.
Give the container a good couple of shakes to mix it all up and coat the chicken.
Allow the chicken to marinate for at least one hour or longer for a deeper flavor to the chicken. If doing it the night before, store it in the fridge to keep the chicken cold.
Fire up your BBQ to medium-high heat. (I did this on my Nexgrill, but it would work on any grill).
Grill for about 45 minutes and use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked up to 165 degrees.
As your chicken breasts are cooking, use a basting brush to keep brushing the breasts with the marinade remaining in the container.
Stop using the marinade about 15 minutes into the cooking; if you want more sauce on them you can brush on fresh teriyaki sauce.
Once done top with some sesame seeds and serve and enjoy!! I paired this with rice and a green salad.
