Tak galbi (4 persons)

Koreans cook Galbi with meats after marinating them in soy sauce or with
hot pepper paste (gochujang) sauce. Tak galbi is one of them cooked with
chicken and soy sauce and hot pepper powder. When you cook it, it would
be better to remove the chicken bones to heat in a shorter time.
