  • Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

Boneless dark meat chicken with skin

Fresh ginger and garlic

Light soy sauce and dark soy sauce

Coconut cream

Sugar

Oyster sauce

Coconut cream

Honey

Soy sauce

Unsweetened natural peanut butter

Rice vinegar

Thai red curry paste

Maple syrup or honey

Water

Sesame oil and chili oil

Crushed peanuts

Instructions

1-Mix marinade and marinate chicken: In a bowl, combine ginger, garlic, both soy sauces, coconut cream, sugar, and oyster sauce; whisk until smooth. Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces, toss in the marinade, cover, and refrigerate at least 1-2 hours (overnight is fine).

2-Skewer the chicken: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Thread chicken pieces tightly onto skewers, leaving the top empty for easy flipping.

3-Grill and glaze: Preheat grill to high direct heat (500ยฐF). Grill skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally. During the last 2-3 minutes, brush with coconut cream glaze and let caramelize. Rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

๐Ÿ’ก Use coconut cream, not watery coconut milk, for a thick marinade that sticks to the meat and keeps it incredibly juicy.
โฐ Marinate the chicken for at least 1 to 2 hours; overnight is even better for the deepest flavor penetration.
๐Ÿชต Always soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning on the hot grates.
