Instructions

Creating these Sticky Gochujang Chicken Tacos is straightforward! Follow these steps for taco perfection:

1. Prepare Chicken: Start by cutting your chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season them with salt and black pepper.
2. Mix Sauce: In a bowl, combine the Gochujang sauce, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well.
3. Cook Chicken: Heat a pan over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Add the seasoned chicken pieces to the pan and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they start to brown.
4. Add Sauce: Pour the prepared Gochujang sauce over the chicken. Stir to coat the chicken evenly and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
5. Warm Tortillas: While the chicken is cooking, warm your tortillas in a separate pan or microwave for a few seconds until soft.
6. Assemble Tacos: Once the chicken is cooked and the sauce is sticky, remove it from the heat. Spoon the chicken mixture onto each tortilla.
7. Add Toppings: Top the tacos with shredded cabbage, diced avocado, and sliced scallions. Don’t forget to add fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor!
8. Finish with Lime: Squeeze a wedge of lime over each taco before serving to enhance the flavors.
