💡 Chef’s Tip
For an extra caramelization on your sweet potatoes and a slightly crispier Sheet Pan Gochujang Chicken, don’t overcrowd the sheet pan! Use two pans if necessary, ensuring everything has enough space to roast, not steam.
⏰ Make-Ahead Instructions
The Gochujang Honey Glaze can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Simply whisk again before tossing with chicken.
🔄 Ingredient Substitutions
Chicken breasts or pork tenderloin can be substituted for chicken thighs. Regular potatoes or butternut squash work well instead of sweet potatoes. If you don’t have gochujang, sriracha or chili garlic sauce can be used for heat, though the flavor profile will differ slightly. Maple syrup can replace honey.
