Instructions
Preparation Steps
Marinate the chicken. Whisk together the coconut milk, salt, curry powder, turmeric, ground ginger (for marinade), Thai red curry paste, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces and stir to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
Make the sauce. While the chicken is marinating, make the sauce by combining the peanut butter, water, red chili paste, soy sauce, honey, and ground ginger (for peanut sauce) in a blender. Blend until smooth and set aside.
Preheat. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Assemble the skewers. Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked wooden skewers. The chicken pieces should be pressed together.
Grill. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
Rest. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve. Serve the chicken skewers hot with peanut dipping sauce on the side.
Notes
Serve immediately with fresh cilantro or lime wedges for extra flavor.
