Exquisite Thai Coconut Chicken Skewers Recipe

Thai Coconut Chicken Skewers made approachable with clear cues, pantry staples, and flexible swaps.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Method
 

  1. Prepare the marinade by mixing coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic powder, ground ginger, and salt in a bowl.
  2. Place the chicken cubes into the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor penetration.
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  4. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a bit of space between pieces for even cooking.
  6. Place the skewers on the grilling surface and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
  7. Remove the skewers from the grill and allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
