Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 425F 220C

Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces

In separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs

Coat each chicken piece with flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally, coat with panko breadcrumbs

Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper

Spray the chicken pieces with cooking oil to help them crisp up in the oven

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy

While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce by mixing together the Korean chili paste gochujang, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil in a bowl

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until they are pliable

Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and toss it in the prepared Korean sauce until well coated

To assemble the tacos, place a portion of the Korean chicken in each tortilla, top with shredded lettuce, red cabbage, diced cucumber, and chopped cilantro

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top
