Lay chicken thighs in a single layer. Season each thigh with a few pinches of kosher salt, then transfer to a large zip top bag.
In a blender, combine coconut milk, gochujang, honey, garlic, lime zest, and salt. Blend until smooth, then transfer to a small sauce pan. Over medium heat, heat the sauce for about 3-5 minutes, just until the honey dissolves, the coconut milk fat smooths, and the marinade is homogeneous. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl, and place in the refrigerator to allow it to come to room temperature.
Once cooled, pour the marinade onto the chicken and toss to coat.
Marinade for at least for 24 hours overnight in the refrigerator. I do recommend 48 hours of marinading for the best flavor.
GRILL THE CHICKEN:
Prior to grilling, remove the thighs from the marinade, scraping excess liquid off, and lay flat onto a baking sheet for about 30 minutes to allow them to come closer to room temperature (don’t leave them out longer than this).
Heat grill to medium high. Using a brush, scrape the grates, then, with an oil soaked rag, rub the grates. Spray the chicken with neutral oil, then place on the grill, cooking each side for 3-4 minutes until fully cooked and deliciously (lightly) charred.
BROIL THE CHICKEN:
Alternatively, you can broil the chicken on a wire rack for 3-4 minutes each side.
BAKE THE CHICKEN:
In an oven preheated to 350, boneless chicken thighs should bake for 25-30 minutes. Bone-in chicken thighs will need to bake for 45-50 minutes.
When chicken is done, allow it to rest for 5 minutes or so.
Serve hot with jasmine rice, kimchi, cilantro, and gochujang coconut lime sauce
