Step-by-Step Instructions for Sticky Honey Gochujang Chicken
  1. Begin by cutting the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  3. Place the seasoned chicken pieces into the bowl with the marinade and ensure they're well coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil and allow it to heat until shimmering.
  5. Carefully add the marinated chicken to the hot skillet. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally until fully cooked and caramelized.
  6. Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving plate. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve over rice or noodles.
