Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 3 tablespoons of Sriracha, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 teaspoon of finely grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder until well combined. Add 1 pound of chicken breast fillets, cutting them into strips for better marinade absorption. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated in the mixture and refrigerate it for at least 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
- While the chicken is marinating, cook 1 cup of rice according to the package instructions on the stovetop or rice cooker. Meanwhile, bring a separate pot of water to a simmer and steam 1 cup of tenderstem broccoli for about 4-5 minutes until it turns bright green and is fork-tender. Once cooked, keep the broccoli warm by covering it with a lid.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the remaining vegetable oil. Once the oil shimmers, remove the chicken from the marinade and sauté the pieces in the skillet for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until they are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F. Pour in the reserved marinade from earlier, letting it bubble and simmer for about 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- To plate your Easy 30 Minute Spicy Korean Chicken, place a generous serving of rice on each plate topped with the sizzling marinated chicken. Garnish the dish with a handful of dry roasted peanuts and sliced green onions. Arrange the steamed tenderstem broccoli alongside and serve with lime wedges.

Notes
For the best flavor, marinate your chicken for at least 30 minutes up to 24 hours. Adjust spice levels according to your preference and store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
