A delightful blend of sweet and spicy flavors, Sticky Honey Gochujang Chicken brings Korean culinary magic to your dinner table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil (like canola or vegetable)
  • 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (optional, for extra thickening)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels and season with black pepper.
  2. Whisk the gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper in a medium bowl to prepare the sauce.
  3. Heat the neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer, avoiding crowding the pan.
  4. Cook the chicken pieces for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the prepared gochujang sauce over the chicken. Stir constantly to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
  6. If desired, slowly pour in the cornstarch slurry while stirring to thicken the sauce. Let it simmer for another 1-2 minutes until it achieves a glossy consistency.
  7. Serve over fluffy white rice and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after cooking to lock in the juices for a more tender bite.
