  5. Cook the chicken

    • Grill, air fry or pan-cook the chicken until cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 °F.
    • For the garlic parmesan version, mix the Parmesan with some of the garlic butter and brush it over the chicken after cooking.
    • For the Korean BBQ version, reserve a little marinade before adding the chicken, simmer it into a sticky glaze and brush it over the chicken after cooking.
    • Sprinkle the Korean BBQ chicken with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
