Instructions
Preparing Asian Gochujang Chicken Thighs is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:
1. Combine Marinade: In a large bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar.
2. Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
3. Preheat Oven or Grill: If using an oven, preheat it to 400°F (200°C). If grilling, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Bake or Grill Chicken:
– For baking: Place marinated chicken thighs skin-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
– For grilling: Place chicken thighs skin-side down on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, then flip and grill for another 6-8 minutes until cooked through.
5. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C).
6. Rest Chicken: Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top of the chicken before serving.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Plate the chicken thighs with your choice of sides.
