It takes less than 5 minutes to make.
This recipe is so, so simple.
Besides the chicken itself, there are just three ingredients:gochujang, mayonnaise, and sesame oil.

Just dice or shred the cooked chicken, stir in the other ingredients, and enjoy.
My favorite way to enjoy this chicken salad is on crackers and cucumber rounds for a snacky lunch.
Water crackers, rice crackers, or shrimp chips are all tasty pairings.

you’re free to also make a chicken salad sandwich, layered with tomato and lettuce.
Like gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), gochujang packs some heat but its not overly spicy.
A little goes a long way!

If youre not a fan of spicy foods, you’re free to substitute doenjang for gochujang.
Its another delicious fermented condiment made from soybeans.
Its about twice as salty as gochujang, so youll want to use half the amount.
Add the chicken and stir until evenly combined.
Serve however you likemy favorite way is with cucumber rounds and crackers on the side for scooping.
Store any leftover chicken salad in a tightly lidded container in the refrigerator.
It will keep for up to 3 days.
