The sweet and spicy flavors of this dish echo Korean fried chicken wings, but without the hassle of deep frying. Look for gochujang, a sweet and spicy Korean red pepper paste, in the International aisle of many grocery stores, at an Asian market, and online. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Julia Lee.

Thinly slice the green onions and set aside. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces. Combine the chicken, salt, cornstarch, and water in a medium bowl. Set mixture aside.

Peel and finely grate the ginger using a hand-held rasp-style grater or box grater. Transfer ginger to a small mixing bowl. Grate or mince the garlic. Add it to the ginger with the gochujang, mirin, honey, sesame oil, and vinegar, and stir until well combined. Set sauce aside.

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil, swirling to coat bottom of pan. Add the chicken and spread pieces into a single layer. Cook until well-browned on underside, 2-3 minutes. Turn pieces over and cook until browned on second side, 2-3 minutes. Transfer chicken to a bowl.

Reduce heat to medium-low and add sauce mixture to pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until hot, about 30 seconds. Return chicken to the pan and toss until well coated.

Transfer chicken to a serving plate. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and green onions, and serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Gochujang Intensity Control 🌶️Adjust the amount of gochujang based on your spice tolerance - start with less and add more gradually to achieve your perfect heat level.
- Cornstarch Coating Technique 🥄Ensure even coating by patting chicken thighs dry before adding cornstarch, which helps create a crispy exterior and helps the sauce cling better.
- Marinade Magic Time ⏰For maximum flavor penetration, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) before cooking to allow the seasonings to fully develop.
- Sesame Seed Toasting Hack 🔥Quickly toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes before sprinkling to enhance their nutty flavor and aroma.
- Sauce Reduction Perfection 🥘When reducing the sauce, watch for a glossy, slightly thickened consistency that coats the back of a spoon - this ensures a perfect sticky texture.
