Smoky grilled chicken skewers recipe, marinated in ginger, garlic, coconut cream and soy sauce. Then finished with a sweet coconut cream glaze and served with a simple peanut sauce. Big on flavor, super easy to throw together!

Ingredients

  • 1 kg chicken ((dark meat preferably))
  • 4-5 slices ginger ((approx. 2 tablespoons))
  • 2 cloves garlic ((approx. 1½ tablespoons))
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 6 tablespoons coconut cream
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter ((unsweetened))
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
  • 2 teaspoon maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 2-3 tablespoons water ((or enough to thin it out to the consistency you like))
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil ((optional))
  • 1 teaspoon chili oil ((optional))
  • crushed peanuts ((optional, sprinkled on top))

Directions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients from the peanut sauce ingredient list and mix well.

  2. 2

    If you are using wooden skewers, in a tall cup, add water and soak the back ends (the ends that are not pointy) so they don't burn on the grill.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, combine the coconut cream, honey and soy sauce and set aside for glazing the chicken at the very end.

  4. 4

    Set the charcoal or gas grill to approximately 500F (260C)
