Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce adds umami flavor
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar balances saltiness
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil infuses a nutty aroma
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger adds zesty heat
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang Korean red chili paste
For the Chicken

Equipment

  • Medium Bowl
  • zip-top bag

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare the Marinade by whisking together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and gochujang in a bowl. Let it sit for 10 minutes.
  2. Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces and place them in a zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over and seal the bag. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  3. Soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat around 400°F (200°C).
  5. Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers, leaving some space between pieces.
  6. Grill the skewers for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Remove from grill, let rest for a few minutes, and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
