According to recipe tester Katherine Hendrix, this kitchen-tested gochujang chicken recipe is "quick, flavorful, and fun."

Small nuances in cooking

Be sure to use gochujang paste in this recipe, not gochujang sauce (gochujang is a thick, glossy Korean chili paste that is the base for a sauce made with soy sauce, mirin, and honey).

Buy gochujang in tubes as it stays fresh longer and is easier to control.

Traditionally, the chicken is coated in cornstarch and fried. We skipped this step for a quick and easy weekday dinner, but you can tweak the recipe to make it more authentic if you like.

What to Serve with Gochujang Chicken
Serve this gochujang chicken with rice and steamed vegetables for a quick and healthy weekday dinner. Katherine also recommends wrapping leftovers in wonton wrap (with extra cream cheese) and deep frying them for a "crunchy and filling snack."
