Korean Chicken Skewers Recipe
Description
This Korean Chicken Skewers recipe begins by soaking wooden skewers to prevent burning while grilling. Chicken breast is cut into bite-sized cubes and combined in a glaze made from honey, soy sauce, gochugaru chili flakes, sesame oil, fresh grated ginger, and minced garlic. After threading the chicken onto skewers and seasoning with salt and pepper, they are sprayed with nonstick spray.
The skewers are grilled over medium-low heat, initially for two minutes per side to cook through. Then they are brushed twice with half the glaze at intervals while grilling, building layered flavors and caramelization. Finishing with a sprinkle of sesame seeds brings a subtle crunch and aroma.
These skewers serve well warm and are suited to casual meals or entertaining, pairing with rice or grilled vegetables for balanced flavors.

- 1 tablespoon ginger fresh grated
- 3-4 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
- Soak 12 wooden skewers in a pan of water while you are prepping the ingredients. Preheat the grill (or a grill pan) to medium-low heat.
- Chop the chicken into 3/4 inch cubes. In a small bowl, mix the honey, soy sauce, gochugaru, sesame oil, ginger and garlic. Whisk well.
- One at a time, take the skewers out of the water and thread chicken cubes on the skewers. Once all the chicken is skewered, salt and pepper them liberally. Then spray the skewers with nonstick cooking spray on both sides.
- Place the chicken skewers on the grill. Grill for 2 minutes per side. Then brush half the glaze over the skewers and grill another 3 minutes. Flip the skewers one last time and glaze again. Grill for 3 more minutes.
- Remove from the grill. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve warm.
