Description
Succulent Gochujang Chicken marinated in a spicy-sweet sauce, delivering rich flavors and contrasting textures in every bite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 Chicken Thighs or Breasts
- 3 tbsp Gochujang (Korean Chili Paste)
- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 inch Ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
- 2 Green Onions, chopped
- 3 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gochujang, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Gently place the chicken in the marinade, ensuring every piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Test the oil with a piece of marinade; it should sizzle.

- Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions, alongside rice or vegetables.
