Korean Style Marinated Chicken!

I got a bit bored with the few chicken dishes I always eat, so I wanted to make something different from what I normally have. With the ingredients I found in my kitchen, here's what I made.

It's a slightly adapted version of the Korean Gochujang Marinated chicken! I found the original recipe online, but I did not have all the ingredients mentioned at home, so I just used something else as an alternative, which turned out just as tasty! Beware: this is a spicy dish!

You will need:

(2 servings)

3-4 chicken thighs

1 tablespoon gochujang (Korean Red Pepper Paste)

half tablespoon golden syrup

some garlic

1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce

1 teaspoon of soy sauce
1 teaspoon of sesame oil

cooking oil

Steps:

1. Using the back of the knife,pound the chicken to tenderize, then cut the chicken thighs into smaller pieces.

2. Mash up some garlic into small bits.

3. Marinate the chicken with the gochujang, golden syrup, garlic, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil. Massage the ingredients into the chicken and leave it for 15-30 mins.

4. Heat up a pan, add in some cooking oil. Then cook the chicken at low heat. As there is syrup in there, the chicken can burn very easily before it is cooked on the inside if it is on high heat. Put the lid on to retain its flavour.

5. Turn the chicken pieces over when one side is done. 

6. When both sides are cooked, stir fry it so the sauce is thoroughly mixed with the chicken.

I highly recommend to have this with rice, since the chicken is quite strongly flavoured.
