Known as Jjimdak, this flavorful Korean Braised Chicken is easy to make with simple ingredients. Tender chicken braised in a sweet and savory sauce with hints of spice, this version uses dried chili to get a nice clean flavor instead of gochujang (Korean chili paste). A fantastic dish for a weekend dinner and best enjoyed with beer or rice.
