Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup Korean Gochujang Paste
- 1/2 cup Neutral Vegetable Oil
- 1/4 cup Oyster Sauce
- 1/4 cup Light Soy Sauce
- 2 tablespoons White Granulated Sugar
- 2 tablespoons White Rice Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Mirin
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1.5 inches Ginger (grated)
- 1 whole (2-3 pounds) Whole Chicken
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Korean Gochujang paste, vegetable oil, oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, rice vinegar, mirin, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk until well-blended and smooth.
- Place your whole chicken in a large zip-top bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s fully coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and marinate it in the refrigerator for 8-16 hours, preferably overnight.
- About 30 minutes before baking, take the marinated chicken out of the fridge to bring it to room temperature.
- Preheat your oven to 356°F (180°C) or 160°C for fan-assisted ovens.
- Place the chicken on a roasting pan. Bake uncovered for 30 minutes, then cover with aluminum foil. Roast for another hour, or until the juices run clear.
- Once done, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
- For an extra crispy skin, broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes after applying additional boiled-down marinade.
