🛒 Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 400gm boneless chicken (thigh meat preferred)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (maida)
  • 1-2 tbsp vegetable oil (for shallow frying)

For the Sticky Gochujang Honey Glaze

  • 1 tbsp Mummy's Magic Gochujang
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tsp vinegar (white or apple cider)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil (optional)

Garnish

  • Toasted sesame seeds
  • Spring onions, finely chopped

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Marinate the Chicken

  • Start by cutting the chicken into bite-sized cubes - this is what gives you that perfect "pop in the mouth" experience
  • Marinate with soy sauce, ginger-garlic paste, pepper, and salt
  • Then sprinkle cornflour + all-purpose flour and coat the pieces well
  • Let it rest for 5 minutes

2. Pan-Fry to Crispy Perfection

  • Heat oil in a pan on medium-high
  • Place the chicken pieces carefully and cook until they're golden, crispy, and cooked through - usually 6-8 minutes
  • Remove and keep aside

3. Make the Gochujang Honey Glaze

  • In the same pan, lower the heat
  • Add Mummy's Magic Gochujang, honey, soy sauce, vinegar, water, and sesame oil. Stir until the sauce turns glossy and sticky (30-40 seconds). Do not overcook - honey can burn quickly

4. Toss Everything Together

  • Add the crispy chicken bites into the glaze
  • Toss for 1-2 minutes until each piece is coated evenly
  • Serve hot and enjoy!
