Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 3 tbsp Red curry paste
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 tbsp Fish sauce
- 1 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into evenly sized 1-inch cubes and set them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the red curry paste, coconut milk, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, and vegetable oil. Whisk until smooth.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (or use a grill pan on a stovetop).
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the skewers hot with a side of steamed rice, a fresh salad, or your favorite dipping sauce.
