Equipment

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • mixing bowl
  • grill

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz boneless chicken thighs (cubed)
  • 1 pear (peeled and seeds removed)
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tabelspoon sesame oil
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (peeled)
  • 2 tablespoons ginger (grated)
  • 1 tablespoon gochujang sauce

Instructions
 

  • In a blender, blend together the pear, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, onions, garlic, ginger, and gochujang.
  • Cut the chicken into small one-inch cubes. Pour 3/4 of the marinade into the bowl. Set aside the leftover marinade for basting. Let the chicken marinate overnight or for at least 2 hours.
  • When you are ready to grill, thread the chicken cubes on the skewers. (If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes)
  • Heat an indoor/outdoor grill on medium-high heat and grill the chicken on each side for about 5 to 6 minutes until it fully cooks to an internal temperature of 165F. Occasionally, baste the chicken with the leftover marinade to get it nice and golden brown.
  • Sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with green onions before serving.
