This Korean Baked Honey Gochujang Chicken recipe combines spicy, sweet, and savory flavors to create a mouthwatering dish that is perfect for any occasion. The marinade infuses the chicken with delicious Korean-inspired tastes, while baking results in tender, juicy meat with a caramelized finish.

Ingredients

Chicken Marinade:

  • 1 ½ pounds of chicken thighs or drumsticks
  • 3 tablespoons gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced

Garnish:

  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure an even cooking temperature.
  2. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Mix until well combined.
  3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag or a bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well-coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Arrange on a Baking Sheet: Take the chicken out and arrange it on a lined baking sheet. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
  5. Bake: Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and caramelized.
  6. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, let it rest for 5 minutes, then garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.
