High-Protein Honey Gochujang Chicken is a flavorful dish packed with protein and a hint of sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken thighs. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, mix together the gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to create a marinade.
  3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
  4. Preheat the Pan: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a splash of oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken thighs in the heated skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is golden brown.
  6. Thicken the Sauce: Add any remaining marinade to the pan during the last few minutes of cooking to thicken the sauce slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  7. Garnish: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Slice the chicken and drizzle with the thickened sauce. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
  8. Serve: Plate the chicken with your choice of sides, such as steamed rice or a crisp salad.
