Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tablespoons Gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Erythritol (or preferred low-carb sweetener)
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
- 8 Lettuce leaves (for serving)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine gochujang, soy sauce, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and erythritol. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 2
Add the chicken thighs to the mixing bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for better flavor penetration.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 4
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the marinated chicken thighs from the fridge and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Step 5
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 6
Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing into strips.
Step 7
Serve the sliced chicken on lettuce leaves and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. Enjoy your low-carb gochujang chicken as a delightful wrap or salad!
