Creating Gochujang Chicken Thighs is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for the best results:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar. Mix well until smooth.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a zip-top bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and season with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. Bake: Pour the reserved marinade over the seared chicken. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
6. Garnish: Remove the skillet from the oven. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving.
