Gochujang Chicken Skewers

1. My barbecue becomes my oven and stove in the summer when I transition to cooking outdoors mainly. These skewers are sweet and spicy, and are a fantastic main protein for an asian inspired rice bowl. I serve mine with sticky rice and other fresh veggies and condiments for a light summer rice bowl.
