Instructions
Creating Gochujang Chicken is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Prep the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, sesame oil, and grated ginger until well combined.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
5. Cook the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
6. Add Extra Sauce: If desired, pour any leftover marinade into the skillet, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
7. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
8. Serve: Plate the Gochujang Chicken hot, ready to delight your guests!
