Korean BBQ Skewer 4 chicken filets 8-10 wooden skewers, presoaked in water or juice Sesame Aioli Sauce Korean BBQ Sauce Gas or charcoal grill Cut the chicken into bite-sized portions, and skewer the pieces, leaving a thin margin of separation between each chunk. Place the skewers in a container and add the Korean BBQ Sauce. Marinate for at least 15 minutes. Start the grill, and place each skewer on the direct flame. Look for a hard char— it will flame up due to the sesame oil’s low smoke point, so watch it closely. If the skewer looks like it burned quickly, that’s good. Remove it from the grill and put it back in the marinade. Continue this process four to five times, and watch the carbon reabsorb the marinade and caramelize. Whisk the ingredients together and chill for 30 minutes or overnight. Set aside for later. Place the skewers on the coolest side of the grill to receive residual heat, ensur- ing the meat is cooked through. Drizzle with the Sesame Aioli Sauce and serve.
