    Gochujang Chicken

    March 29, 2023 by Marc Matsumoto 2 Comments

    Juicy chunks of chicken thigh glazed in sweet and spicy gochujang sauce.

    When it comes to quick weeknight meals, there are few proteins as versatile and easy to cook as a boneless skin-on chicken thigh. The meat is super flavorful and hard to overcook, while the skin renders out just enough flavorful fat to brown the chicken without adding any extra oil. 

    That's why it's usually on the table at least once a week. To keep things from getting repetitive, my wife and I have a running game to see who can devise new ways of preparing it. 

    The process of making this dish is identical to my chicken teriyaki, but the use of a sweet and savory gochujang turns this into an entirely different dish with a mild kick that even my daughter will gobble up. It's also delicious served over rice with the extra sauce drizzled on top.

      I've been looking forward to this one! Gochujang is one of my favorite cooking ingredients. And now it's available in just about every grocery store. The one I get isn't really spicy, just very flavorful. This is such an easy way to enjoy the flavor!

        Yea, most of the ones we get here in Japan are really mild too. You can always spice it up with some extra gochugaru or cayenne if you want a little more kick. Hope you enjoy it!

    I started No Recipes back in 2007 as a place to share original dishes I'd created with friends. It's since evolved into something much bigger than I could have imagined, but as it grew, the focus shifted from inventing dishes to improving classics. In the spirit of how No Recipes began, I'm bringing back my weekly original recipes for all of my supporters and friends!
