Description
Deliciously marinated chicken skewers grilled to perfection, infused with smoky flavors and a touch of sweetness.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 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
- Begin by cutting the chicken into 1 1/2-inch cubes and placing them in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together ginger, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and gochujang to create a flavorful marinade.
- Pour half of this marinade over the chicken, ensuring every piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes, or up to overnight for optimal flavor.
- Reserve the remaining marinade in the fridge for later basting.
- Once marinated, thread the chicken onto skewers. Preheat your grill to medium heat.
- When the grill is hot, place the skewers on a lightly oiled grate.
- Turn the skewers every 3-4 minutes, cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F, which should take about 20-30 minutes. Baste with the reserved marinade during the last few turns for extra flavor.
- Remove the skewers from the grill. Serve with chopped green onions, if desired, along with your choice of side dishes.
Notes
Gochujang adds heat and depth; adjust to taste. Fresh ingredients elevate the flavor. Marinating longer enhances flavor absorption.
