Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil until smooth. Add chopped green onions, black pepper, and chili flakes, stirring well to combine all the flavors.
  2. Slice the chicken breasts or thighs into thin strips, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking. Toss the chicken pieces in the marinade until coated thoroughly. Let it marinate for at least 20 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 2 hours.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and lightly oil the surface for non-stick cooking. Add the marinated chicken in a single layer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is caramelized and cooked through.
  4. Transfer the chicken bulgogi to a serving plate. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and additional chopped green onions. Serve warm.
