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
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken thighs into evenly sized 1-inch cubes and set them aside.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (or use a grill pan on a stovetop).
Step 5
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a bit of space between each piece for even cooking.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve the skewers hot with a side of steamed rice, a fresh salad, or your favorite dipping sauce.
