Instructions
Preparation Steps
In a medium bowl, whisk together gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly caramelized.
If the sauce is too thick, you can add a tablespoon or two of water to thin it out.
Serve the Honey Gochujang Chicken over cooked rice, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced scallions.
Notes
Adjust the amount of gochujang and red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
