Ingredients
Scale
Marinade
- ½ cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon coriander
Chicken
- 2 lbs chicken thighs, cubed
To Serve
- Peanut sauce
- Lime wedges
- Rice
- Parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, curry powder, honey, coriander, and salt until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the Chicken: Add the cubed chicken thighs to the marinade and stir until all pieces are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto skewers carefully, ensuring the pieces are spaced evenly for even cooking.
- Grill the Chicken: Preheat a grill or broiler on high. Grill or broil the chicken skewers for 10 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked through and has a slight char for added flavor.
- Serve: Remove the skewers and serve hot with peanut sauce, lime wedges for squeezing, warm rice, and garnish with fresh parsley to enhance flavors and presentation.
Notes
- For best results, use chicken thighs as they remain juicy and tender during grilling.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to prevent burning.
- You can substitute red curry paste with yellow curry paste for a milder flavor.
- To make the dish gluten-free, ensure the curry paste and peanut sauce are gluten free.
- Adjust honey amount for desired sweetness level in the marinade.
