Instructions
Creating these incredible Korean Chicken Tacos is easier than you think. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Marinate the Chicken: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, gochujang, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar. Add chicken thighs and ensure they are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2. Cook the Chicken: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until well-done and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let them rest for a few minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
3. Prepare the Toppings: While the chicken cooks, prepare the toppings. In a bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrots, chopped green onions, and diced cilantro. Toss well.
4. Warm the Tortillas: In a dry skillet, warm each tortilla for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
5. Assemble the Tacos: Layer sliced chicken on each tortilla, followed by cabbage-carrot slaw.
6. Add Sauces: Drizzle with Sriracha or hot sauce if desired. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
