Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken thighs dry and season generously with salt and pepper. Arrange skin-side up in a baking dish.
- 2Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until skin is crispy and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- 3While chicken bakes, make the glaze. In a small saucepan, combine honey, garlic, soy sauce, gochujang, rice vinegar, and ginger. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in sesame oil.
- 4During the last 10 minutes of baking, brush the chicken thighs generously with the glaze. Return to oven to caramelize.
- 5Remove chicken from oven. Brush with any remaining glaze. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
