Grilled Thai Coconut Chicken Skewers

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Marinate Chicken:
    • In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, garlic, ginger, curry paste, and oil.
    • Add chicken cubes, mix well, cover, and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour (overnight gives best flavor).
  2. Prepare Skewers:
    • Thread marinated chicken onto soaked bamboo skewers.
  3. Grill:
    • Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high.
    • Cook skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until nicely charred and cooked through.
  4. Serve:
    • Garnish with fresh cilantro, chili, and lime wedges.
    • Serve with jasmine rice, coconut rice, or a crunchy Thai salad.

🌟 Tips

  • You can save a bit of the marinade (before adding chicken) and reduce it into a coconut dipping sauce.
  • Works wonderfully with shrimp or tofu as a variation.

👉 Ashley, would you like me to also share a peanut dipping sauce recipe to pair with these skewers, like they often do in Thai street food?
