Korean Spicy Chicken Skewers are a delightful fusion of tender chicken marinated in a spicy and savory sauce, grilled to perfection for a smoky flavor. These skewers make for a high-protein snack that is both satisfying and packed with authentic Korean flavors.

Ingredients

• Chicken breast - 300 grams
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Gochujang (Korean red chili paste) - 1 tablespoon
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon

• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Green onions - 2 stalks, chopped

Steps

1. Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
2. In a separate bowl, combine soy sauce, gochujang, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper to create the marinade.

4. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
