Spicy Gochujang Glazed Chicken
A flavorful and spicy glazed chicken recipe that utilizes expired but safe Gochujang to reduce food waste. Ensure the chicken is thoroughly cooked to guarantee food safety.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 2 tablespoons expired but safe Gochujang
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix expired Gochujang with honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off, and place it in the hot skillet.
Cook the chicken for 6-8 minutes per side or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
While the chicken is cooking, pour the remaining marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the skillet and brush it with the thickened marinade glaze.
Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Serve hot and enjoy!
