This is authentic Filipino street food. My favorite dish to make this summer. BBQ season is the best season.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 1x

Ingredients

Scale

10 - 12 boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into 1" pieces

Sauce & Marinade:

1 cup banana ketchup (Jufran Banana Ketchup)

1/2 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup dark soy sauce (kecap manis)

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

10 cloves of fresh garlic

2 inches of sliced ginger

1 tbsp gochutgaru

1 tsp black pepper

2 tbsp red pepper flakes for some spice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the marinade/sauce. Add all the liquids to a medium-size pot.
  2. Then smashed the garlic and slice the ginger. Add that to the pot.
  3. Bring to a boil then simmer for 20 minutes.
  4. Prep your chicken thighs. Cut them into 1-inch cubes.
  5. Cool down your sauce.
  6. Make sure your marinade/sauce is completely cooled down. In an airtight container, add 1 cup of the sauce to marinate the chicken. Marinate for 30 minutes. For best results, marinate overnight.
  7. Keep the rest of your sauce in an airtight container and store it in the fridge. This will be your BBQ sauce for basting.
  8. When you are ready to barbeque, start skewering the chicken. Keep them tight. This prevents the chicken from drying out. Discard the marinade.
  9. Preheat your barbeque, make sure it is on low when cooking the meat.
  10. Start basting right away with the reserved marinade to start developing the flavors.
  11. The chicken skewers should be done in 15 minutes. With an internal temperature of 165 ºF
