    Simple and delicious. Possibly got me over my fear of the broiler. Absolutely delicious over rice.

    I used the broiler method here and was happy - nice caramelized bits on the chicken and the sauce was glossy & thick. A quick taste after mixing up the sauce confirmed that we did like it as written but to be honest, we also liked it better after a squirt of honey was added. I actually used 1/2 the chicken but made around 3/4's of the sauce because I also added in some stir fried broccoli & celery at the end and served it over rice. We really liked this bowl of spicy chicken, veg and rice.

    Good but didn't brown enough under the broiler, maybe next time I'll trying baking at 425F instead. The taste was good but the sauce was a little muddy looking, but maybe that was due to not enough browning.

    This is so good, and so easy. Our broiler doesn’t work, so I turned the oven to 500. I also skipped the final thickening on the stove as it was plenty thick enough at that point. Next time (and I can’t wait to have this again), I’ll just roast it at something like 425 for 30 minutes. Served with rice and a cucumber and melon salad. Loved it.

    Very easy to make and great flavour. Loved the effect of the onion. I chopped the chicken into smaller pieces then recommended and so didn’t need the full thirty minutes of cooking.

    Chicken was delicious but Spicy! I'm glad I used the lower amount of Gochujang ( fermented Korean pepper paste). The potato salad helped cool my mouth down. It would have been delicious also with the suggested rice. Hubby doesn't like chicken though, but does love potato salad. He did take one bite of the chicken and said the onion was good in the sauce. He loves Korean food.
