Ingredients

  • 4 thighs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with foil and set a wire rack on top (optional, for crispier skin).

  2. 2

    Whisk together 1/4 cup gochujang (Korean chili paste), 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tsp toasted sesame oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated fresh ginger in a bowl to form the glaze.

  3. 3

    Pat 4 thighs bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs dry and season both sides with 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Coat the chicken all over with two-thirds of the glaze, reserving the rest for basting.

  4. 4

    Place the chicken skin-side up on the prepared sheet pan. Roast for 15 minutes.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, toss 1 lb trimmed fresh green beans with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt.

  6. 6

    Push the chicken to one side of the pan and add the green beans in a single layer. Brush the chicken with the reserved glaze. Roast for another 20 to 23 minutes, until the skin is caramelized and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh (not touching bone) reads 165°F (74°C).

  7. 7

    Transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with 4 thinly sliced scallions and 2 tsp sesame seeds.

Is there a substitute for gochujang in Sheet Pan Gochujang Chicken with Green Beans?

How hot is Sheet Pan Gochujang Chicken with Green Beans?
