Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs Use fresh for best flavor.
  • 1/4 cup gochujang Korean chili paste.
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
Vegetables
  • 1 medium sliced onion
  • 1 medium sliced bell pepper Any color will work.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well to create the marinade.
  2. Slice the chicken thighs into thin strips and add to the marinade, coating well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably up to 2 hours.
Cooking
  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat or heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, lightly greased with oil.
  2. Remove chicken from the marinade, letting excess drip off, and cook in a single layer on the grill or pan for 4-5 minutes per side until browned and cooked through.
  3. In the last few minutes of cooking, add sliced onions and bell peppers, stir-frying until tender and slightly charred.
Serving
  1. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and green onions. Pair with steamed rice or lettuce leaves.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. You can also freeze marinated chicken for up to three months.
