Cooking Steps

  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and minced ginger.
  3. Add your chicken thighs or drumsticks to the marinade and ensure each piece is coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature or refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the marinated chicken pieces on it. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken.
  5. Bake the chicken for 30 to 40 minutes, checking for doneness at 30 minutes, ensuring it reaches 165°F (74°C).
