Korean Chicken Skewers

Chicken skewers in any form is a huge hit with my kids. They love anything that they can grab and eat anywhere and at any time. I made these Korean chicken skewers for school lunch with my quick and easy garlic chilli noodles. You can find that recipe on the site too. You can serve these Korean chicken skewers with rice and some pickled / sautéed vegetables.
