Sticky Honey Gochujang Chicken Recipe (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ For the Chicken
01 -
6 boneless chicken thighs, skin on
→ For the Marinade
02 -
2 tablespoons gochujang paste
03 -
2 tablespoons honey
04 -
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
05 -
1 tablespoon soy sauce
06 -
1 tablespoon sesame oil
07 -
2 cloves garlic, grated
08 -
3 stalks green onions, white and green parts separated
# Instructions:
01 -
If your chicken thighs aren't already deboned, grab your sharp knife or kitchen shears and carefully remove the bones while keeping the skin on.
02 -
Grate your garlic with a microplane and slice up those green onions. Keep the white and green parts separate - we'll use the whites in the marinade and save the greens for garnish.
03 -
In a bowl, stir together your gochujang paste, honey, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and that grated garlic. Toss in the white parts of your green onions and give it all a good mix.
04 -
Get your chicken thighs all cozy in that marinade. Make sure each piece gets nicely coated. Let them hang out for at least 15 minutes if you've got the time.
05 -
For air fryer: Heat to 375°F, cook for 20 minutes, flipping halfway. For oven: Heat to 425°F, bake 30-35 minutes on a lined sheet, flipping once. Give it a quick broil at the end for crispy skin.
06 -
Pile that chicken over some hot rice, sprinkle with those green onion tops you saved, and dig in while it's hot!
# Notes:
01 -
Marinate longer than 15 minutes for even more flavor
02 -
For extra crispy skin in the air fryer, start skin-side down
03 -
Don't overlap the chicken pieces - they need their space to get crispy
