Instructions

In a bowl, whisk together the gochujang, sesame oil, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the glaze. Add the chicken thigh pieces and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

While the chicken marinates, prepare the avocado crema: In a small bowl, mash the ripe avocado with the lime juice and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto small skewers, ensuring they are not overcrowded. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Preheat your broiler or grill to medium-high heat. Place the chicken skewers on a broiler pan or directly on the grill grates. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through, slightly charred, and the glaze is caramelized. You're looking for the chicken to be opaque and the edges to be a little crispy.

Arrange the cooked chicken skewers on a serving plate. Dollop or drizzle the avocado crema over the chicken. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and thinly sliced scallion greens.

Serve immediately while warm.
