Ingredients
- 1½ lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut in 2-inch pieces
- 3 tbsp gochujang
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 4 garlic cloves, grated
- 1 lb broccoli, cut in florets
- 1½ cups jasmine rice
- 4 green onions, sliced
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
From your pantry: 2 tbsp neutral oil, salt.
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 450°F with a rack in the upper third. Rinse the rice and cook it with 2¼ cups water and a pinch of salt.
- Whisk the gochujang, honey, soy sauce, garlic and 1 tbsp oil in a big bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
- Toss the broccoli on a sheet pan with 1 tbsp oil and a pinch of salt and push it to one side. Spread the chicken on the other side in a single layer, scraping in every bit of sauce.
- Roast 18 to 22 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and caramelized at the edges and the broccoli tips are charred.
- Spoon the pan juices back over the chicken. Serve over rice with the green onions and sesame seeds on top.
Tip: For extra char, switch to broil for the last 2 minutes and watch it closely. Honey burns fast.
