Ingredients
Marinade
- 3/4 cup coconut milk
- 3 tbsp Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 tbsp lime juice
Chicken and Skewers
- 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs, cut into chunks Can substitute with chicken breasts
- Skewers (soaked in water if wooden)
Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, Thai sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and lime juice.
- Marinate chicken in the mixture for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Thread marinated chicken onto skewers.
Cooking
- Grill skewers over medium heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through and nicely charred (about 10–12 minutes).
- Brush with extra marinade during grilling for a stickier glaze.
Notes
For the best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. If desired, add more chili sauce or red pepper flakes for a spicier kick. Be careful not to overcook the chicken; it should be juicy and tender.
