Ingredients

– 1 cup coconut milk
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 2 tablespoons brown sugar

Instructions
Creating Grilled Thai Coconut Chicken Skewers is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
2. Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, red chili flakes, and salt until well combined.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for more intense flavor.
4. Soak the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
5. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat.
6. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
7. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
8. Garnish: Remove from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh cilantro.
These steps will guide you in creating these incredible skewers effortlessly.
