Ingredients:

(For the Chicken Marinade)

Chicken Thighs 

1 Cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk

2 TBSP red curry paste (I used thai kitchen brand)

1 TBSP curry powder

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

(For the Peanut Sauce)

1 Cup Unsweetened Coconut Milk

3/4 Cup creamy Peanut Butter

2 TBSP soy sauce

1/4 Cup white sugar

2 TBSP Red Curry Paste

2 TBSP Cider Vinegar

1 tsp salt

3/4 Cup of Water

(Optional Toppings)

Rice

Lime Wedges

Cilantro

Sriracha

Crushed Peanuts

Directions:

1) Cut chicken thighs into long strips and place in a container large enough to marinate.

2) Whisk together all of the marinade ingredients and pour it over the chicken, toss to cover all the chicken.

3) Cover and refrigerate. (You can do this the night before, morning of, or even a couple hours prior to cooking)

TIP: about an hour prior to using the skewers, soak them in water to help prevent them from catching fire on the grill.

4) Remove the marinated chicken from the fridge and start weaving it onto the skewers to get them ready to grill.

5) In a sauce pan, combine all of the peanut sauce ingredients. Whisk and simmer until it thickens a bit. Turn off before going out to grill the chicken (this can burn easily if you let it continue to cook without monitoring it) - reheat it prior to serving the chicken)

6) Once chicken is finished grilling, serve over rice with peanut dipping sauce and top with lime, cilantro, sriracha, and/or crushed peanuts! Enjoy!!
