Making Sticky Honey Gochujang Chicken is simple. Follow these steps to create an incredible dish:

1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, mix gochujang, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, and rice vinegar. Stir well to combine.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or bowl and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is well coated. Marinate for at least 15 minutes for optimum flavor.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

5. Add the Marinade: Pour the reserved marinade over the chicken in the skillet. Bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium.
6. Simmer: Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, turning the chicken occasionally until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately.
