    3 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken thighs

Create the Marinade

  • Combine marinade ingredients in the specified quantities in a large mixing bowl.
    1/2 cup Tamari Soy Sauce, 1/3 cup Honey, 1/3 cup Gochujang, 2 Teaspoon Sesame oil, 2 Tablespoon Ginger, 2 Tablespoon Garlic

Marinating the Chicken

  • Put marinade and chicken into a gallon storage bag. Push out excess air and zip the top. Marinate for at least 24 hours. Work the marinade into the chicken by massaging it.

Grilling the Chicken

  • Get your grill to 400F.
  • Put chicken on the skewers by sliding them up the skewer.
  • Once your grill is at 400F, put chicken on the grill for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, flip each skewer to the other side for another 15 minutes.
  • In order to achieve a char, I placed each skewer in the hot zones for 1-2 minutes on each side.
  • Once they have good color, take the large piece and check the internal temperature - the biggest piece should read 165F+. Once at 165F, take off the grill and enjoy!

Notes

If you're using a charcoal grill, it's recommended to soak the wooden skewers at the same time the chicken marinates to prevent them from combusting. If you're using a pellet or gas grill, you do not need to soak the sticks.
