  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into bite-sized pieces)
– 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
– 2 tablespoons honey
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 3 cloves garlic (minced)
– 1-inch piece of ginger (grated)
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon cornstarch
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)
– 1 green onion (sliced, for garnish)
– Sesame seeds (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Sweet and Spicy Korean Gochujang Chicken is easy if you follow these steps:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the gochujang, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar. Add the chicken pieces and mix until well coated. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.

2. Prepare Cornstarch: After marinating, sprinkle cornstarch over the chicken and toss to coat evenly. This helps create a crispy texture when frying.

3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet in a single layer.

4. Cook the Chicken: Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it is golden brown and cooked through. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) for safety.

5. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Serve the chicken hot, garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

These steps will lead you to a flavorful dish that is sure to impress!
