Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 1/4 cup gochujang
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, brown sugar or honey, sesame oil, and minced garlic. Add chicken thighs, coat, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Arrange Chicken on a Baking Sheet: Place marinated chicken on a lined baking sheet, skin-side up, and pour leftover marinade over them.
- Bake the Chicken: Bake for 25-30 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and skin is crispy. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes if desired.
- Rest and Garnish: Let chicken rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with chopped green onions.
- Serve: Enjoy with rice, sautéed vegetables, or in lettuce wraps.
Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with tofu. Allow longer marination for deeper flavor.
