Pastry brush (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Combine the tomato paste, Gochujang sauce, honey, rice vinegar and garlic in a small saucepan. Mix well.

- Marinate for 30 minutes.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

Cooking Tip
You can use a pastry brush to swab on the marinade. It makes it easier to ensure all the ingredients are saturated. This recipe also works well if the ingredients are grilled, though veggies would need to be left in larger chunks and cooking time adjusted.
