A vibrant explosion of flavors—spicy, savory, and slightly sweet Korean Spicy Chicken that’s perfect for family dinners or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs chicken, cut into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons gochujang (Korean red chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Add chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes to let those flavors infuse.
  3. Preheat the Grill or Pan: Preheat a grill or pan over medium-high heat to get it hot and ready for grilling.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Cook the marinated chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and beautifully caramelized.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving to add an appealing touch and extra flavor.

Notes

For an extra depth of flavor, marinate the chicken overnight if time allows. If you’re looking for a milder version, reduce the amount of gochujang or serve with a cooling yogurt sauce.
