Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 kg chicken (dark meat preferably)
  • Marinade:

    • 2 cloves garlic (approx. 1½ tablespoons)
    • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons coconut cream

  • Simple Peanut Sauce (Optional):
    • 2 tablespoons coconut cream
    • ¼ cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened)
    • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon Thai red curry paste
    • 2 teaspoons maple syrup (or honey)
    • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
    • 2–3 tablespoons water (or enough to thin it out to the consistency you like)
    • 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
    • 1 teaspoon chili oil (optional)
    • crushed peanuts (optional, sprinkled on top)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken: Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add chicken pieces and mix well. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Make the coconut cream glaze: Mix coconut cream, honey, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Set aside.
  3. Grill the chicken skewers: Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Grill over medium-high heat until cooked through, basting with coconut cream glaze.
  4. Prepare the peanut sauce: (Optional) Mix all peanut sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth.
  5. Serve: Serve the grilled chicken skewers with coconut cream glaze and optional peanut sauce on the side.

Notes

  • You can adjust the sweetness and spiciness of the marinade to suit your taste preferences.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading the chicken to prevent burning.
