Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil; place a baking rack on the foil. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Whisk gochujang paste, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic powder together in a small bowl to make a luscious sauce. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Pat chicken dry with paper towels; brush both sides of chicken pieces generously with the prepared sauce. Place chicken on the rack in the prepared pan. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Bake chicken in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through, about 30 to 35 minutes. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and sesame seeds, and serve with lime wedges. (35 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken in the gochujang mixture for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight.
Adjust the amount of gochujang to suit your spice preference.
Serve with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables for a complete and satisfying meal.
Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
