Korean Spicy Chicken: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe

  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 1.5 pounds chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon sesame oil
– 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
– 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon minced garlic
– 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
– 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
– 1 cup green onions, chopped
– 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
– 1 cucumber, thinly sliced (for serving)
– Cooked rice (for serving)

Instructions

Creating Korean Spicy Chicken is straightforward with these easy-to-follow steps:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey (or sugar), rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to ensure they’re evenly coated. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and caramelized on the outside.
5. Add Green Onions: About 2 minutes before the chicken is done cooking, add chopped green onions to the skillet and toss to combine.
6. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds over the dish for added texture and flavor.
7. Remove from Heat: Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from heat.
8. Serve: Serve the Korean Spicy Chicken hot, alongside cucumber slices and a portion of cooked rice to balance the heat.
