While the chicken rests, make the glaze. Combine the gochujang, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant and the sauce thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
