Low Carb Grilled Gochujang Chicken Thighs
These Low Carb Grilled Gochujang Chicken Thighs are the perfect amount of spicy, salty, and funky, thanks to the addition of fermented pepper paste, aka Gochujang. Tender chicken thighs are marinated with soy sauce, fish sauce, gochujang, sliced scallions (white part only), and sesame seed oil. The marinating process is a quick one! Since the ingredients are aromatic, only let the marinade sit on the chicken for a couple of hours. Once marinated, the gochujang thighs go onto the grill to cook and obtain a delicious sear. Serve whole or sliced with cauliflower rice.
Where can I find gochujang?
You can find Gochujang at most Asian markets. If not, you can find it on large online retailers like Amazon.
What can I serve with gochujang chicken thighs?
Serve chicken thighs with a bowl of steaming hot cauliflower rice and a side of dark green vegetables like Keto Gai Lan with Oyster Sauce:

What if I do not have a meat thermometer?
You can also check the doneness of the chicken thighs by picking the largest thigh and breaking it in half on the grill. If the inside is no longer pink, then the rest of the thighs will be done too.

I made this, cooked in air fryer, first I kept all ingredients however the gochujan 2 Tbsp, soya sauce used tamari soya sauce 0 carbs, and fish sauce if you like the taste same amount less if not.. I used 1 tspp much. For 2 boneless skin on 2 thighs for 2 carbs soya sauce, gochujang, fish sauce have added sugar, check out t&t they have some lower yet its still plenty spicy

What is it that is so high in carbs? Is it the soy sauce? If so, can’t that be subbed for something a little less limiting to the lifestyle?
