Instructions
Follow these straightforward steps to create your Sticky Gochujang Chicken Tacos:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together gochujang, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15-20 minutes; for best results, marinate longer.
3. Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off excess seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
4. Rest and Slice: Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice it into strips or bite-sized pieces.
5. Warm the Tortillas: While the chicken rests, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until heated through and pliable.
6. Assemble the Tacos: Begin layering the tacos by adding a base of shredded cabbage to each tortilla. Top with the sliced chicken, diced cucumber, diced tomatoes, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
7. Serve with Lime: Serve the tacos with lime wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
