Korean Chicken & Kimchi Rice Traybake

All the flavours of two favourites – Korean chicken and kimchi rice – but in an easy traybake. The addictive sweet and spicy gochujang sauce serves both as a marinade and a drizzling sauce, while the tangy kimchi rice, dotted with peas for added freshness, becomes gorgeously crunchy in some bits (which we always fight over!).

Ingredients

gochujang 3 tbsp
honey 2 tbsp
soy sauce 3 tbsp
cider vinegar 1 tbsp
ketchup 1 tbsp
basmati rice 240 g
chicken stock cube 1
bone in chicken thighs 1 kg
kimchi 150 g (sliced)
frozen peas 100 g
lime 1 (wedges)
spring onions 2 (sliced)

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan.
Combine the gochujang, honey, 1/2 of the soy sauce, cider vinegar, and ketchup in a small bowl. This is your marinade. (you can use rice wine vinegar instead of cider vinegar).
Make up the chicken stock cube with 550ml boiling water.
Tip the rice into a large baking tray, then pour in the chicken stock and stir in 1 tablespoon of the marinade along with the remaining soy sauce.
Spoon 3 tablespoons of the marinade over the chicken to coat. Reserve the rest of the marinade for the drizzling sauce.
Add 1 tablespoon of water to the remaining marinade to make the drizzling sauce. Set aside until step 10.
Place the chicken on top of the rice, then cover the tray tightly with foil. Bake in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and discard the foil. Place the chicken on a plate while you stir through the kimchi and peas.
Meanwhile, slice the kimchi into small pieces. Thinly slice the spring onions, cut the lime into wedges.
If the rice looks dry, add a splash of water. Place the chicken back on top of the rice and bake, uncovered, for another 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked. If you prefer crispier skin, turn the grill to high and cook for a minute or two until done to your liking.
Serve the chicken and rice with the lime wedges, spring onions, and the drizzling sauce.
