Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken Thighs
  • 2 tbsp Gochujang Paste
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 tsp Ginger
  • 1 tsp Sesame Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 stalks Green Onions

Instructions

  1. 1Cut the 1 lb of chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes.
  2. 2In a bowl, combine the 2 tbsp gochujang paste, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 cloves of garlic (minced), 1 tsp ginger (grated), 1 tsp sesame oil, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix these ingredients together thoroughly to create the marinade.
  3. 3Add the 1 lb of chicken cubes to the marinade. Stir everything together to make sure each piece of chicken is completely covered. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or for up to 2 hours if you place it in the refrigerator.
  4. 4Preheat your grill or a grill pan on the stovetop to medium-high heat. This is approximately 400°F (200°C).
  5. 5Carefully thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
  6. 6Place the chicken skewers on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes on each side. The chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  7. 7Remove the cooked chicken skewers from the grill. Chop the 2 stalks of green onions. Garnish the skewers with the chopped green onions before serving.
