How to make it
Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes if using. Thread chicken cubes onto skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, softened butter, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place skewers in the pan and sear for 3-4 minutes per side until chicken develops golden color.
Reduce heat to medium. Brush the gochujang butter mixture generously over both sides of the chicken skewers.
Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes, occasionally turning and basting with the sweet spicy glaze until chicken is cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Transfer skewers to a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the chicken.
Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately while hot.
