Step 1

In a bowl, mix together: 1 ½ tbsp of sugar, 1 ½ tbsp of soy sauce, 1 tbsp of cooking oil, 1 tbsp of lemon juice, ½ tbsp of minced garlic, ½ tbsp of Korean chili flakes or paprika, ½ tbsp of gochujang, ½ tbsp of starch, 1 tbsp of tonkatsu sauce, ½ tsp of cinnamon, a little black pepper, and ginger powder if using.

Step 2

Rinse the chicken in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Add to the sauce and coat well. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and marinate in the fridge for at least 3-4 hours. If you marinate it overnight, the flavor gets even richer.
