Step 1
Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Place chicken skin-side down in the pan. Sear 6 minutes without moving until edges brown.
Step 4
Flip chicken. Mix gochujang, honey, and soy sauce in a bowl, then brush generously over the meat.
Step 5
Cook 5 minutes, then scatter mozzarella evenly over the chicken. Cover and cook until cheese melts, ~3 minutes.
Step 6
Slide onto a plate. Sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
