1
Cut the boneless, skinless chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and place into a bowl.
2
Add minced garlic, minced ginger, white pepper, and soy sauce to the bowl, and toss to coat the chicken evenly. Cover and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
3
Remove marinated chicken from the refrigerator and add the potato starch, tossing until all the chicken cubes are evenly coated. Set aside.
4
In a small saucepan, combine the Gochujang pepper paste, tomato ketchup, honey, soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Heat over low heat, stirring for 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5
Heat the oil in a large frying pan until it reaches 350°F. Fry the chicken in 2-3 batches for 4-6 minutes per batch, avoiding overcrowding the pan. Drain the cooked chicken bites on a wire rack with paper towels underneath to absorb excess oil.
6
Place the fried chicken bites in a large bowl and pour the Gochujang sauce over them. Toss until every piece is evenly coated.
7
Serve the Korean Chicken Bites in a bowl, sprinkled with sesame seeds. Enjoy!
