Description
Savor tender chicken pieces enveloped in a spicy gochujang glaze, creating a harmonious blend of smoky, sweet, and savory flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons gochujang paste
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon honey or sugar (optional)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Chopped green onions (for garnish)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by crafting your marinade. In a mixing bowl, combine the gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and honey or sugar if desired. Whisk until mixed well.
- Heat your skillet over medium heat. A properly heated skillet will sear the chicken beautifully.
- Add the chicken pieces to your hot skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour your gochujang mixture over the chicken. Stir to coat every morsel thoroughly.
- Allow the chicken to cook for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and tender.
- Finally, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For a crispy version, consider using an air fryer. Marinate the chicken for up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
