KOREAN CHILLI, SESAME & HONEY CHICKEN



Korean chilli, sesame & honey chicken image

A kebab always goes down well at a BBQ, and this Korean chicken with sweet, spicy and sticky glaze is our new favourite. Scatter over spring onions to serve

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Supper

Time 35m

Yield Serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 chicken thighs , boneless and skinless
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
thumb-sized piece ginger , grated
4 spring onions , sliced
4 tbsp Korean chilli paste (gochujang) or use a mixture of 3 tbsp ketchup and 1 tbsp sriracha chilli sauce
2 tbsp honey
juice ½ lime
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Toss the chicken in the soy sauce, sesame oil and ginger. Thread each thigh on two long metal skewers, so that each skewer pierces one side of the thigh. Keep threading the chicken, making sure it's packed onto the skewers tightly. Chill until you're ready to cook. Mix the ingredients for the glaze.
  • Heat the BBQ. If using a coal BBQ, wait for the coals to turn ashen before you start cooking. Cook the kebab for 5-8 mins on each side (depending on the heat). Once nicely charred but not fully cooked through, start painting on the glaze. The honey will catch if cooked for too long - the key to nice sticky chicken is applying the glaze in layers, turning the kebab often.
  • Once the glaze has been used up and the chicken is cooked through (it'll take about 20 mins in total), transfer to a plate and leave to cool for 5 mins before serving scattered with spring onions.

Tips:

  • Choose boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the best flavor and texture.
  • To make the skewers, cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and thread them onto skewers. You can also use wooden or metal skewers.
  • Be sure to marinate the chicken in the honey-sesame sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the sauce.
  • When grilling the chicken skewers, baste them with the remaining marinade every few minutes. This will help keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Serve the chicken skewers with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Honey sesame chicken skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer barbecue or party. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful honey-sesame sauce and then grilled to perfection. Serve the skewers with your favorite sides, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables, and enjoy!
