Skewers

Method

Chicken Marinade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces (about 1.5 inches).

  2. 2

    Mix Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, and red chili flakes. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.

  3. 3

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Dipping Sauce

  1. 4

    Prepare Dipping Sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and water until sugar is dissolved.

  2. 5

    Add Aromatics

    Stir in minced garlic and chopped red chili. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

Skewering and Grilling

  1. 6

    Soak Skewers

    If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  2. 7

    Skewer Chicken

    Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, packing them closely but not too tightly.

  3. 8

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

  4. 9

    Grill Chicken

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  5. 10

    Serve

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with dipping sauce on the side.
