Delicious Gochujang Chicken Recipe
This Gochujang chicken is a savory, spicy dish that combines tender chicken with the rich flavor of Gochujang, garlic, and a hint of sweetness. The sauce coats the chicken beautifully, creating a slightly sticky, satisfying glaze that pairs perfectly with steamed rice or vegetables.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
- Chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, combine Gochujang, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- Thicken the Sauce: If there’s excess sauce in the pan, let it simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Serve: Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Enjoy it hot with rice or your favorite side dishes.
