Deliciously marinated chicken skewers grilled to perfection with a sweet and spicy gochujang glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs. chicken thighs (boneless, skinless)
  • 2 tsp fresh ginger (finely grated)
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • Chopped green onions (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cut the chicken thighs into 1.5-inch cubes and toss them into a bowl.
  2. Whisk together the grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and gochujang to create the marinade in a separate bowl.
  3. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, mixing well to coat every piece.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least four hours, or even overnight, to let the flavors meld.
  5. Save the remaining marinade for basting the chicken while grilling.
  6. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers, packing them snugly but not too tight.
  7. Preheat your grill to medium heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  8. Grill the skewers for 20-30 minutes, turning them every 3-4 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  9. Brush with the reserved marinade during the last few turns for extra flavor.
  10. Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions if desired.

Notes

Marinate the chicken overnight for enhanced flavor. Use metal skewers to avoid burning.
