8 servings
1 hour total (Active 15 minutes)

Ingredients

  • ¼ bunch fresh cilantro
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • ¼ cup gochujang (Korean chili sauce)
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ginger stir-in paste
  • 1 teaspoon lemongrass stir-in paste
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Cooking spray
  • 8 (6-inch) wooden skewers
  • ¼ cup sliced fresh green onions

Steps

    1. Chop cilantro (¼ cup) and garlic finely. Combine cilantro, garlic, brown sugar, gochujang, lime juice, soy sauce, ginger paste, lemongrass paste, and oil. Reserve one-half sauce.
    2. Cut chicken into 1-inch chunks and thread onto skewers (wash hands). Coat chicken with remaining half sauce; let stand 30 minutes (or chill overnight) to marinate.
    3. Preheat grill (or grill pan) on medium. Remove skewers from marinade (discard marinade) and coat with spray. Place on grill. Grill 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is grill-marked and 165°F. Arrange skewers on serving platter, brush with reserved sauce, and sprinkle with green onions; serve.
