Creating Sticky Honey Gochujang Chicken is simple if you follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by trimming any excess fat from the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels.
2. Make the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together the gochujang, honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor).
4. Preheat the Pan: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
5. Cook the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and add it to the hot skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on one side until golden brown.
6. Flip the Chicken: Turn the chicken over and pour the reserved marinade over it. Cook for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
7. Thicken the Sauce: If desired, increase the heat to high and let the sauce simmer for a couple of minutes until it thickens slightly.
8. Garnish: Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle with any remaining sauce and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your Sticky Honey Gochujang Chicken hot!
