Step 1
Finely chop the 3 Cheongyang peppers. Feel free to add more if you like it spicier!

Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the 20 whole garlic cloves and stir-fry for 2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 3
Add the chicken thigh meat to the pan. Season with 1 tsp salt and a pinch of black pepper. Stir-fry over high heat. Once the chicken is partially cooked, cut it into bite-sized pieces with scissors. Continue to stir-fry over high heat until the chicken is fully cooked and nicely browned, ensuring it doesn’t burn.
Step 4
Once the chicken is fully cooked, add the chopped Cheongyang peppers and stir-fry for another minute over high heat. Drizzle in 1 Tbsp of sesame oil to add a savory aroma and mix well.
Step 5
In a small bowl, combine the 3 Tbsp lemon juice, 2 Tbsp sugar, 3 Tbsp chili sauce, and 2 Tbsp gochujang. Mix well to create the spicy and sweet sauce.
Step 6
Serve the Spicy Garlic Chicken Stir-fry in a dish and enjoy it with the accompanying spicy Gochujang sauce. It’s a simple yet special dish perfect for a side with rice or a drink. Highly recommended for both! ‘ㅂ’b
