Korean Spicy Chicken Rice Noodle Bake

Servings:

This Korean spicy chicken rice noodle bake is not only my new favorite spicy chicken, it's also my new favorite way to cook rice noodles. Chicken is marinated briefly in a gochujang marinade, then dry rice vermicelli goes directly into the baking dish, chicken thighs are placed on top, and the dish bakes quickly to perfection. As a bonus, the leftovers can be served cold on greens for an amazing salad.

Instructions

  1. 1 Add ginger and garlic to a mixing bowl, and pour over the 1/4 cup rice vinegar. Let sit for 30 seconds, then whisk in soy sauce, salt, brown sugar, ketchup, the 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and gochujang.
  2. 2 Add chicken thighs to marinade. Toss and turn until thoroughly coated. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator, at least 1 hour and up to 8 hours.
  3. 3 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with 1 teaspoon sesame oil.
  4. 4 Lay rice vermicelli in the dish, pulling the dry noodles apart as you do, to cover the bottom evenly, breaking off sections of noodle as needed.
  5. 5 Evenly scatter over mushrooms, peppers, and about half the green onions. Top with marinated chicken thighs, smooth side up. Spoon excess marinade on top of chicken.
  6. 6 Rinse marinade bowl with chicken broth and pour into the bottom of dish, without rinsing marinade off chicken. Top with a few tablespoons of green onions.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink at the center and juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  8. 8 Remove chicken to a plate. Toss noodles and veggies in pan until evenly combined. Add the remaining 1/4 cup rice vinegar and 2 tablespoons sesame oil; toss one last time. Taste for seasoning.
  9. 9 Serve chicken over noodles; sprinkle with sesame seeds and more green onions.
