Slow Cooked Gochujang Chicken

 

Created while I was developing a Dakdoritang (Korean spicy chicken stew) recipe for a slow cooker, this dish isn't anything like the stew that I had set out for. Although the ingredients of this delicious chicken dish are certainly Dakdoritang, the flavor and texture turned out unlike Dakdoritang. The thick sauce clung to the chicken drumsticks while the flavor intensified as it slowly cooked for four hours. Not what I intended to develop, this Slow Cooked Gochujang Chicken turned out big in flavor. Sometimes, what we get turns out to be much more interesting than what we intended.

INGREDIENTS
eight chicken drumsticks, skinless and bone-in
one cup of pee-wee potatoes
a half cup of sliced carrots
a half cup of gochujang
a half of yellow onion, chopped
a third cup of chicken broth
a quarter cup of soy sauce
three tablespoons of minced garlic
two tablespoons of diced ginger
four slices of jalapeño
two tablespoons of granulated sugar
one tablespoon of paprika
one tablespoon of spearmint 
two teaspoons of sesame oil
a half teaspoon of crushed red pepper

Place the drumsticks, pee-wee potatoes, and carrots in your slow cooker. Add all other ingredients listed and mix well. Set the slow cooker to high and let it cook for four hours. Turn the slow cooker off. Stir, place the lid back on, and let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes before plating to serve with rice.
