Ingredients
1½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
2 tablespoons Thai red curry paste
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lime juice
Chopped cilantro and lime wedges (for garnish)
Bamboo skewers (soaked in water)
Instructions
In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, curry paste, brown sugar, fish sauce, soy sauce, garlic, and lime juice.
Add chicken and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.
Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
Grill skewers 4–5 minutes per side until chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
Serve with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
Notes
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Great served with jasmine rice, peanut sauce, or a Thai cucumber salad.
Adjust spice level by modifying the amount of curry paste.
