Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat chicken thighs dry. Season generously with salt and black pepper on both sides.

  2. Step 2

    Arrange chicken skin-side up on a sheet pan. Roast at 425°F for 18-20 minutes until skin is golden and crispy.

  3. Step 3

    While chicken cooks, mix gochujang, mirin, soy sauce, and garlic in a small bowl until smooth.

  4. Step 4

    Remove chicken from oven. Brush glaze all over each thigh, then dot with butter pieces.

  5. Step 5

    Return to oven for 3-4 minutes until glaze caramelizes and edges look sticky and glossy.

  6. Step 6

    Transfer to a serving platter. Scatter green onions and sesame seeds over the top. Serve immediately.
