Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Rice: Rinse 1 cup of jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a pot, combine rice and 1.5 cups of water; bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes. Let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
- Coat the Chicken: In a bowl, whisk together ¾ cup flour, ¼ cup cornstarch, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat 2 eggs. Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, dip in eggs, then dredge in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
- Heat the Oil: In a skillet or fryer, pour vegetable oil (about 2 inches deep) and heat over medium-high to 350°F (175°C). Test by dropping a small bit of batter into the oil.
- Fry the Chicken: Add coated chicken in batches to the hot oil and fry for 5–7 minutes until golden and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Make the Sauce: Combine ¼ cup gochujang, ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 tbsp honey, 2 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp sesame oil in a saucepan. Heat over medium, stirring for about 5 minutes until well combined.
- Coat Chicken in Sauce: Place fried chicken in a bowl and pour the warm sauce over the top. Toss to coat evenly.
- Assemble Bowls: Spoon jasmine rice into bowls, top with sticky fried chicken, and sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes
To maintain crispiness, store chicken and rice separately. Reheat chicken in a skillet and rice in the microwave with a splash of water.
