Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 0.5 cup Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 0.5 cup Peanut butter
• 0.25 cup Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Chili paste (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 pieces Wooden skewers

Directions

Step 1

Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during cooking.

Step 2

Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, ground coriander, ground cumin, half of the minced garlic, and grated ginger to create a marinade.

Step 4

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, cover, and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.

Step 5

While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter, warm water, rice vinegar, remaining minced garlic, and chili paste (if using). Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers.

Step 7

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and lightly brush with vegetable oil.

Step 8

Grill the chicken skewers for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and lightly charred.

Step 9

Transfer the skewers to a serving platter and sprinkle with salt for extra flavor.

Step 10

Serve the chicken skewers warm with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
