  1. 1.In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, gochujang, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil.
  2. 2.Place the chicken thighs in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
