Instructions

  1. On a shallow plate, mix well all the marinade ingredients (2 tablespoons gochujang paste, 2 tablespoons light soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ginger powder, and 1 teaspoon vinegar of choice). Add the 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs and rub with the marinade on all sides.
  2. Allow the chicken to marinate over the counter for 15-20 minutes.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 4-5minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165F.
  4. Garnish with 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds and 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, and serve over your favorite cooked rice, if desired.

Notes

  • If you do not like chicken thighs, you may use chicken breasts
  • Trim out all the excess fat off the chicken thighs to reduce fat content.
  • Serve over any rice of choice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice
