In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, gochujang, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, and black pepper to create marinade.

Add chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Thread marinated chicken pieces onto soaked skewers, alternating with pieces of green onion.

Brush the grill grates with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.

Sprinkle sesame seeds over the skewers before serving.

Serve hot, garnished with additional green onions.
