Dakkochi (Korean Chicken on a Stick)
Dakkochi are a real popular street food in Korea. They are simply grilled chicken on a stick. They are traditionally brushed with layers of either a sweet or spicy sauce while being grilled. If you don’t have a grill, these can easily be broiled.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast or thigh cut into 2” cubes
- 8 green onions cut into 2” pieces
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp cooking wine
- 1 tbsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp ginger grated
Sweet Sauce
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
Spicy Sauce
- 1/2 cup sweet sauce
- 1 tbsp gochugaru
- 1 tbsp sriracha
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Mix together the cooking wine, garlic, ginger, salt, and black pepper. Marinate the cubed chicken for 20 minutes.
- Mix together the sweet sauce ingredients.
- Mix together the spicy sauce ingredients.
- Turn on your oven’s broiler. Place a rack on a baking sheet lined in foil. Skewer up the green onions and chicken. I used 8” skewers; allowing for 3 pieces of chicken per skewer. Place the skewers on the rack.
- Broil for 2 minutes a side.
- Brush the top side of the skewers with the sauce of your choice. Broil for 2 minutes. Flip the skewers. Brush with the sauce. Broil for another 2 minutes. Do this step 1 more time for each of the sides of the skewers. Each side should have 2 coatings of the sauce.
