instructions
    1

    In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, minced garlic, gochujang, and black pepper to create the marinade.

    2

    Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it to the marinade. Mix well to ensure the chicken is fully coated.

    3

    Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb all the flavors.

    4

    While the chicken is marinating, prepare the grill or a grill pan on medium-high heat.

    5

    Once the chicken has marinated, skewer the pieces onto sticks if using a grill, or simply place them onto the grill pan.

    6

    Cook the chicken for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking and caramelization.

    7

    While the chicken is cooking, chop the green onions and prepare any additional garnishes if desired.

    8

    Once the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char, remove it from the heat.

    9

    Serve the chicken wrapped in fresh lettuce leaves, topped with sliced green onions, and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
