Instructions
Prepare the bbq sauce
- In a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, and garlic. Bring to a boil.
- In a small bowl stir together cold water and corn starch til dissolved. Stir into boiling sauce.
- Remove from heat and divide between two bowls. Reserve one bowl for serving later.
Prepare the chicken
- Skewer chicken onto metal or soaked wooden skewers.
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper to taste, and Asian five spice if you have it.
- Brush chicken all over with the Korean bbq sauce (from one bowl - remember to reserve one bowl for serving).
- GRILL over medium heat 8-10 minutes turning periodically and brushing with additional bbq sauce after each turn. (See note for baking option)
- Serve over rice or noodles with reserved sauce and garnish with green onions. Enjoy!
Notes
- Soy sauce option: you can also use a thick teriyaki sauce if your grocery store carries it. I love the Kikkoman Teriyaki Takumi (purple label), it's very thick and has amazing flavor.
- Baking option: Bake at 400 degrees on a rimmed sheet pan for 12-16 minutes until cooked through, brushing with additional bbq sauce 2-3 times throughout the baking time.
- Serving suggestion: I love to serve this chicken with a side of steamed white rice and a side salad.
