Ingredients

Scale

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup gochujang
1/4 cup honey
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil (for cooking)
Sesame seeds and sliced green onions (for garnish)

Instructions

Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
In a large bowl, whisk together gochujang, honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and rice vinegar until smooth.
Add chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or overnight for best flavor.
Heat sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook marinated chicken in batches for about 5–7 minutes until cooked through and caramelized on all sides.
Pour any remaining marinade into the skillet and simmer on low until thickened into a glaze.
Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
