Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons gochujang or sweet chilli sauce
- 4 small bone-in chicken thighs

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Thin gochujang, if using, with a little water. Rub over chicken thighs and bake for 30 minutes, or until cooked through. (Alternatively, cook on a barbecue grill with the lid down 20-30 minutes.)

Although I’m not a qualified chef I do like to pretend I’m on Master Chef. I source the recipes from the stated source (not sauce) and make them taking the photo of the meal I produce for myself.
