Creating Gochujang Chicken Thighs is a breeze if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for maximum flavor.
3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Heat Oil: In an oven-safe skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
5. Sear Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and place it skin-side down in the hot skillet. Sear for about 5-7 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
6. Flip Chicken: Flip the chicken thighs over and pour the reserved marinade over them.
7. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Rest Chicken: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle sliced green onions and sesame seeds over the chicken for added flavor and presentation.
