Jamie Oliver Gochujang Chicken is a pan-cooked or oven-baked chicken dish coated in a Korean chili paste–based sauce. Gochujang adds heat, depth, and slight sweetness, creating a sticky glaze that clings to the chicken.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 600g boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks

    • 2 tablespoons gochujang paste

    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

    • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar

    • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (or lime juice)

    • 2 cloves garlic, minced

    • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)

    • Salt and black pepper to taste

    • Spring onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Sauce

In a bowl, mix gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, and ginger. Stir until smooth.

Step 2: Heat the Pan

Place a large pan over medium heat and add olive oil. Allow it to heat gently.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

Add chicken pieces in a single layer. Cook for 5–6 minutes, turning occasionally, until lightly browned.

Step 4: Add the Sauce

Pour the gochujang mixture over the chicken. Stir to coat evenly.

Step 5: Simmer

Lower the heat and simmer for 8–10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens into a sticky glaze.

Step 6: Finish with Sesame Oil

Drizzle sesame oil over the top if using and stir gently.

Step 7: Garnish and Serve

Sprinkle sliced spring onions and sesame seeds on top. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
