Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Rotisserie Chicken, pulled or chopped
- 3/4 cup Korean BBQ Sauce (can substitute with teriyaki or lower sugar version)
- Half Calorie Rice, for serving
- Cucumber Kimchi, for serving (store-bought or homemade)
- Creamy Kimchi Sauce, for serving (mix gochujang with light mayo)
- Pickled Carrots, for serving (made with rice vinegar and sugar)
- Toasted Sesame Seeds, for garnish
- Scallions, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Set your oven to high broil and move the rack to the center position.
- In a large bowl, toss the pulled rotisserie chicken with the Korean BBQ sauce, ensuring every piece is evenly coated.
- Spread the chicken mixture evenly on a quarter sheet pan or skillet.
- Broil for 8-12 minutes, watching closely until the edges are crispy and the sauce has caramelized.
- Plate the Korean BBQ chicken alongside half calorie rice.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and scallions. Serve with cucumber kimchi and creamy kimchi sauce on the side.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the chicken in a sealed freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
- Keep a close eye on the chicken while broiling as the sugar in the sauce can burn quickly.
- Consider using dark meat from the rotisserie chicken for extra moisture.
- This recipe is easily adaptable for dietary restrictions; use low-sugar sauce, cauliflower rice, or gluten-free kimchi as needed.
