Follow these steps to create your Sticky Honey Gochujang Chicken perfectly:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a ziplock bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it’s thoroughly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 3 hours for the best flavor.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat.
4. Cook the Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade for later). Cook the chicken in the skillet for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Add the Marinade: Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken in the skillet, bringing it to a simmer. Let it bubble for 3-5 minutes until it thickens and becomes sticky.
6. Garnish: Once the chicken is coated in the thick sauce, remove it from heat. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top for garnish.
7. Serve: Transfer the sticky chicken to a serving platter, ensuring it’s beautifully coated in the glaze.

These straightforward steps will guide you to create an incredible and flavorful Sticky Honey Gochujang Chicken that is sure to impress!
