Chef`s Tip

To grill the chicken, grill the skin side first to have an even cooking and browning while the chicken is still flat. During cooking the chicken will shrink and warp so achieving a nice presentation will be challenging if the skin side is not grilled first. For the kimchi, use Korean chili flakes, also known as Gochugaru, this type of chili flakes is bright red with distinct flakes and will give the kimchi its characteristic look and taste.
