Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts (1.5 pounds, cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • Gochujang paste (1/4 cup)
  • Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • Honey (1 tablespoon)
  • Garlic (3 cloves, minced)
  • Ginger (1 tablespoon, grated)
  • Vegetable oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Salt (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/4 teaspoon)
  • Green onions (2, chopped (for garnish))
  • Sesame seeds (1 tablespoon (for garnish))

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gochujang paste, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful marinade.
  2. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let it marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator, or overnight for enhanced flavor.
  3. Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (about 400°F/200°C).
  4. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
  5. Grill or bake the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through, slightly charred, and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Remove the skewers from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
  7. Serve hot and enjoy these delicious skewers with rice or a fresh salad.
