A flavorful and easy-to-make Korean-inspired chicken dish with a spicy glaze.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Arrange the chicken thighs, skin side down, in a large baking dish.
Use a dish large enough to avoid overcrowding the chicken.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, gochujang, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper.
Taste the marinade and adjust the sweetness or spice level to your preference.
Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well coated.
Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes for better flavor.
Bake the chicken uncovered for 45 minutes.
Baste the chicken with the marinade halfway through cooking for extra flavor.
Turn the chicken over and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it's cooked through.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve with steamed rice and a side of kimchi for a complete meal.
