Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in chicken thighs (skin-on)
  • 3 tbsp gochujang
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 green onions (sliced, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together gochujang, honey, soy sauce, garlic, lime juice, and sesame oil until smooth.
  2. Place chicken thighs in a resealable bag or dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure they are well-coated and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to an hour).
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  4. Grill the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 7-8 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Alternatively, roast them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and garnishing with sliced green onions.
  6. Serve alongside rice or roasted vegetables.
