INGREDIENTS
2 small boneless skinless chicken thighs (approx 100g each)
1/2 cup cooked brown rice (approx 100g)
1 tbsp gochujang paste
1 tsp maple syrup
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger
1 tsp light soy sauce
1 tsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, mix the gochujang paste, maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, and olive oil to form the glaze.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season them lightly with salt and pepper.
Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush half of the glaze over the chicken thighs, ensuring they are well coated.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, then flip them over and brush with the remaining glaze. Continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the skin appears crispy.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the brown rice according to the package instructions if not already cooked.
To serve, place the cooked brown rice on a plate and top with the crispy baked chicken thighs. Drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top for extra flavor.
Garnish with a sprinkle of extra black pepper if desired and serve warm.
