Season the boneless skinless chicken thighs with the listed ingredients and allow to marinate for a minimum of one hour or overnight.

Prepare the cucumber namasu by mixing the pickling liquid ingredients in a bowl and then adding the cucumbers. Allow to marinate.

Prepare the gochujang sauce by adding all ingredients into a pot, including soy sauce (not recorded), and bring to a slow simmer until the sugar melts and everything combines. Set aside once done.

In a separate dish, mix potato starch or all-purpose flour with salt and black pepper to create the dredge.

Dredge the marinated chicken pieces in the dredge mixture and set aside.

Heat oil in a pot to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and fry the chicken for about three to four minutes for the first fry. Remove and place on a wire rack.

Increase the oil temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and double fry the chicken for one to two minutes until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.

Place the fried chicken in a bowl and drizzle with the gochujang sauce, tossing to combine. Garnish with black or white sesame seeds and chopped scallions.

Serve the chicken over a bowl of jasmine rice, adding the cucumber namasu and garnishing with chopped cilantro.
