CANNABIS-INFUSED CRISPY HONEY GOCHUJANG CHICKEN BITES

CANNABIS-INFUSED CRISPY HONEY GOCHUJANG CHICKEN BITES

Sweet heat, sticky glaze, and crispy golden chicken—this is the kind of snack that disappears fast. Bite-sized pieces of chicken are lightly battered, fried until crunchy, then tossed in a glossy honey-gochujang glaze enriched with cannabis-infused butter. The result is spicy, sweet, savory, and perfectly sticky with a slow, mellow lift that hits after the last bite.

Terpene Pairing

Limonene + Caryophyllene

Bright citrus notes balance the sweet honey glaze while peppery spice complements the fermented chili paste.
