Sambal Chicken Skewers
Here's the chicken, marinated for an hour (though, oddly, the recipe and accompanying video say no marinating), no glaze applied, yet, just put on the grill:1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar
1/2 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/3 cup hot chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
1/4 cup fish sauce (such as nam pla or nuoc nam)
1/4 cup Sriracha
2 teaspoon finely grated peeled ginger
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch–2-inch pieces
Directions:
Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Whisk brown sugar, vinegar, chili paste, fish sauce, Sriracha, and ginger in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. (The directions call for no marinating time, but I'm not sure why that wouldn't help.) Thread 4 or 5 chicken pieces onto each skewer.
Transfer marinade to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until reduced by half (about 1 cup), 7–10 minutes.
Grill chicken, turning and basting often with reduced marinade, until cooked through, 8–10 minutes.

There should be more food on sticks. Looks great. I probably would have let it marinate regardless of the instructions.

How spicy was it? Not a factor for me, but the troll under the bridge gets very angry if I serve her food too spicy...
Oh wait, I didn't say that. So how spicy is it?

My wife and I really loved this, will definitely be having it again, but as I've thought about it a few days, the Korean "Dakkochi" recipe was similar but even better, and I'd encourage anyone who's interested in this recipe to check that one out too. It was a little more trouble, and different enough that I'll make both of these from time to time, but it really was wonderful.
Here's my post on making it, which points to a recipe posted by @RichardFL, who got it from this page on BBQ Brethren. It needs gochujang, which in some areas is hard to find. I ordered it from Amazon, but I've seen it in one of my stores more recently. It also uses two sauces, not one, so in that way I suppose it's twice the work, but gosh that stuff was good! -

Thanks again! -
I tried the recipe this weekend. It was fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

We've been making this awesome recipe for years, but we call it "stinky chicken" because the marinade STINKS when you cook it down to be a sauce.

You got that right! Must be the fish sauce.But It tastes really good!

I totally agree on the fish sauce! It gives a wonderful dark flavor to things, but too much of it can be almost nauseating, and it really does stink, especially when it's by itself. I actually put in only half the called-for amount when I first was making the marinade and tasted it to see if maybe that was plenty, because I sure did not want too much! But I wound up deciding it was plenty mild and I probably could go with the whole amount, so I did, and I loved it.
But yeah, I could see "stinky chicken..." <laughing> -
I did marinade the chicken in it for a couple of hours. Loved it!
