Gochujang Chicken Thighs (Sweet and Spicy)
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- ½ medium onion sliced
- 1 tablespoon oil for frying
- 2 chili peppers sliced
- Water as needed
For the marinade:
- 2 tablespoons gochujang
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1½ tablespoons mirin
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 green onions thinly sliced
Instructions
- Whisk together all the marinade ingredients, including the green onion whites. Toss the chicken until well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes, until softened.
- Add the chicken. Spread into an even layer and cook for 8-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches 165°F. Reduce the heat as needed to prevent the sauce from burning.
- Add the marinade and sliced chili. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until the sauce coats the chicken. If the sauce is too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. Serve and enjoy!
