Method (preview)

1. 1

   Cut the chicken into 3-inch pieces.

2. 2

   Divide the wings.

3. 3

   Mix the parts with the sugar and marinate for 1 hour or more (the sugar is a tenderizer).

4. 4

   Mix together all the other seasonings -- garlic, scallion, ginger, soy sauce, gochu jang, sesame oil and sesame seeds.

5. 5

   Mix well, add to the chicken, and marinate for another hour.

6. 6

   Pour the 1/2 cup of water into a pan and bring to a boil.

7. 7

   Add the chicken and marinade and simmer, covered, over low heat for about 1/2 hour, which is enough to cook the chicken and evaporate nearly all the liquid.

8. 8

   Stir the mixture once or twice during this process.
