Crispy Gochujang Chicken Bowls with Spicy Sesame Slaw

These Crispy Gochujang Chicken Bowls are an absolute flavour bomb of a one-bowl meal.

I came up with this dish because my obsession with Gochujang is alive, well and thriving, if you must know. Adding to that my obsession with any and all types of fried chicken and we have the stuff bowl food dreams are made of. For me, anyway.

So here, for you (but actually for me), I’ve combined my two obsessions and I’m not sure I’ve ever been happier. I hope you give it a try.
