Ingredients
- 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Coconut sugar
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 1 stalk Lemongrass, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 8 skewers Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, ideally around 1-inch cubes, for even cooking and skewer threading.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, coconut sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, ground coriander, finely chopped lemongrass, turmeric powder, and fresh lime juice.
Step 3
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Alternatively, you can use a grill pan on the stove.
Step 5
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Step 6
Brush the grill grates with coconut oil to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the grill.
Step 7
Cook the skewers for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has a nice char.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the chicken sate with your choice of Paleo-friendly side dishes, such as a fresh cucumber salad or a bed of cauliflower rice.
