Ingredients
  

Marinade
  • 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken thighs Juicy texture; essential for moist skewers.
  • 13.5 oz Coconut milk Use full-fat for the best taste.
  • 0.25 cup Soy sauce Adds umami; low-sodium available for healthier option.
  • 2 tbsp Fish sauce Strong smell, but essential—don't skip it!
  • 2 tbsp Lime juice Fresh is best, bottled is fine in a pinch.
  • 2 tbsp Brown sugar Light or dark sugar works well.
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced Extra garlic can enhance the taste.
  • 1 tsp Ginger, grated Fresh ginger is preferred over powdered.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
  2. Cut your boneless, skinless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Toss gently to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
  3. Soak bamboo skewers in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread onto the soaked skewers, leaving space between pieces.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium heat, around 375°F (190°C).
  6. Grill the skewers for 6-8 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through (165°F or 74°C).
  7. Remove skewers from the grill and let them rest for a minute before serving.
