  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 38 minute

Ingredients

– 1 ½ pounds of chicken thighs or drumsticks
– 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
– 3 tablespoons honey
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
– 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
– 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Making Korean Baked Honey Gochujang Chicken is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures an even cooking temperature.
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Mix until well combined.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs or drumsticks into a large resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or longer for enhanced flavor.
4. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: After marinating, take the chicken out and arrange it on a lined baking sheet. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken to enhance the flavor while cooking.
5. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice caramelized finish.
6. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions as a garnish before serving.
