This Korean BBQ chicken sauce is served over popular "chicken bowls" at a restaurant in my hometown. It's very tasty! Use it as a marinade for chicken, and then baste the chicken with it while grilling. If you like it hot, increase the hot chile paste as desired up to four tablespoons — that's about as much as anyone can take!
