Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 3 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 3 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 4 cups Cooked white rice (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, prepare the marinade by combining gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well until smooth.
Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour (you can marinate overnight for deeper flavor).
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat.
Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and carefully place them in the hot skillet. Reserve the remaining marinade for later.
Cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Pour the reserved marinade into the skillet, allowing it to simmer and thicken for 2–3 minutes while coating the chicken.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a serving platter.
Sprinkle the sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the chicken for garnish.
Serve hot with cooked white rice or your favorite side dishes.
