Savor the flavors of Korea with this grilled chicken coated with a garlicky soy sauce glaze that's inspired by a Seoul street-food treat.

I use juicy, meaty chicken thighs for this quick meal. Look for the skinless, boneless kind. The chicken can be grilled outside, cooked on a stove-top grill or sautéed in a skillet.

This meal contains 554 calories per serving with 29 percent of calories from fat.

• Fred Tasker's wine suggestion: A soft red like an Australian shiraz would go well with this garlicky chicken.

HELPFUL HINTS

• If using a stove-top grill or skillet, spray with vegetable oil before adding the chicken.

• Boneless chicken tenderloins can be substituted.

• Steamed Chinese noodles can be found in the produce section of the market. Angel hair pasta can be used.

COUNTDOWN

• Marinate chicken.

• Make noodle side dish.

• Grill chicken.
