Ingredients
– 4 chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on
– 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 tablespoon soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
Instructions
Creating Korean-Style Gochujang Chicken Thighs is simple if you follow these clear steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, mix gochujang, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
2. Marinate Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
4. Arrange Chicken: Place the marinated chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, skin side up.
5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the skin is crispy. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
6. Baste: If desired, baste the chicken with extra marinade halfway through cooking for added flavor.
7. Rest and Serve: Once cooked, allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps in retaining moisture.
