  Transfer the chicken pieces to a baking tray lined with foil. Place the chicken under the grill for 10 minutes or until golden. Slice the chicken.

  Notes:

  – Kimchi is a spicy and sour fermented Korean side dish often made from cabbage. Find it in the fridge section of Asian grocery stores.

  – Gochujang is a Korean chilli paste available from Asian grocery stores. If unavailable simply leave it out of the recipe and add a teaspoon of sweet paprika for added colour and chilli flakes for additional spice.
