Korean popcorn chicken recipe

Taught by a Korean friend many moons ago, I picked up a few tips and tricks for cooking simple Korean dishes and have made a mental note that gochujang is utmost essential is just about every single dish.

After flipping through a few pages of Korean Bapsang's page, I stumbled upon this recipe and had a strong urge test it out myself. Very easy and super delish:)

2 pieces of chicken thigh fillets, sliced into bite sized pieces
