Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Grilled Thai Coconut Chicken Skewers:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and red curry paste. Whisk until well combined.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
3. Preheat the Grill: When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
4. Thread the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread the pieces onto the skewers. Discard any leftover marinade.
5. Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the skewers to taste.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
7. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Garnish: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
