Chicken Skewers

Peanut Sauce

Method

Preparation of Chicken Skewers

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl. Add soy sauce, chopped lemongrass, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the chicken. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.

Preparation of Peanut Sauce

  1. 3

    Make the Peanut Sauce

    In a bowl, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until smooth and well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Grilling the Skewers

  1. 4

    Grill the Chicken Skewers

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and serve hot with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
