How to make it

Step 1—

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.

Step 2—

In a small bowl, whisk together gochujang, softened butter, honey, minced garlic, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes until smooth.

Step 3—

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.

Step 4—

Reduce heat to medium. Brush the gochujang butter mixture generously over both sides of the chicken skewers.

Step 5—

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.

Step 6—

Transfer skewers to a serving plate. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the chicken.

Step 7—

Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately while hot.
