INGREDIENTS:
2 lb chicken parts (breast, thigh, wings), loose skin and fat discarded 5 T sugar 1 T chopped garlic
1 each scallion, chopped 1 T chopped fresh ginger 2 T soy sauce
5 T gochu jang 2 T korean sesame oil 2 T toasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup water



1 Cut the chicken into 3-inch pieces. Divide the wings. Mix the parts with the sugar and marinate for 1 hour or more. (The sugar is a tenderizer.)
2 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.
3 Pour the 1/2 cup of water into a pan and bring to a boil. 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.
4 Serve warm with rice, salads and kimchi.
