Instructions
Making Korean Gochujang Chicken can be straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix gochujang, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces and stir well. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or wok, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Sauté Vegetables: Add sliced onion and bell pepper to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove and set aside.
4. Cook the Chicken: In the same skillet, add marinated chicken pieces. Cook them for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through, stirring occasionally.
5. Add Vegetables Back: Once the chicken is nearly done, return the sautéed onions and bell peppers to the skillet. Stir to combine.
6. Finish the Sauce: Let everything cook together for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to soak in the veggies’ flavors.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds on top for added texture and flavor.
8. Serve: Plate the dish when it is hot, ready for enjoyment.
