Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs. chicken thighs boneless, skinless
  • 2 teaspoon fresh ginger finely grated
  • 2 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 3 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoon gochujang
  • chopped green onions optional garnish

Instructions
 

  • Cut chicken into 1 ½" cubes and toss in a bowl. In another small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients (except chopped green onions if using) to make the marinade.
  • Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and mix to fully coat chicken. Cover and place in the fridge to marinade for at least 4 hours up to overnight.
  • Cover remaining sauce and place in the fridge for basting the chicken later.
  • When the chicken is done marinating, place your chicken on skewers and heat the grill to medium heat.
  • Once the grill is hot, place skewers on lightly oiled grill. Turn the skewers every 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165 degrees), about 20-30 minutes. During the last few turns baste with remaining sauce.
  • Remove skewers from grill and serve with chopped green onions (optional) and your favorite side dishes!
