Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken thighs or breasts
- 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions for garnish
- Sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Coat the chicken in the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for more flavor.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 25-30 minutes in the oven or until fully cooked through, or grill for about 6-7 minutes per side.
