Step 1
Stir gochujang, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and garlic in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 2
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Sear chicken skin-side down until golden and crispy, about 6 minutes without moving.
Step 5
Flip chicken. Spoon glaze over each piece and cook until glaze darkens and chicken reaches 165°F internally, 5 minutes.
Step 6
Garnish with scallions. Serve immediately with steamed rice.
