- If you don't have Gochujang, you can use 1 tablespoon of Sriracha sauce and 1 tablespoon of tomato paste as a substitute.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken, or it will become dry and tough.
- If you are not a fan of spicy food, you can reduce the amount of chili peppers or Gochujang to taste.
