Description
Korean Gochujang Chicken is a vibrant, spicy-sweet chicken dish that combines traditional Korean flavors with gochujang, honey, and soy sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken thighs or breasts
- 1/4 cup gochujang
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, minced
- 1 cup sliced onions
- 1 cup sliced bell peppers
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Instructions
1. In a bowl, combine the gochujang, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Add the chicken pieces and stir well to ensure the marinade evenly coats the meat. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set them aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the marinated chicken pieces. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
4. Once the chicken is nearly done, return the sautéed vegetables to the skillet. Allow everything to cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes, letting the chicken soak up the flavors of the vegetables.
5. To finish, sprinkle the dish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Notes
This dish can be served with steamed rice or Korean pickles for a complete meal.
