Ingredients
1kg(2lbs)Chickenbreast or thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
Make the marinade - In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, chili paste, vinegar, fish sauce, coriander, cumin, turmeric, garlic, ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined.
2 - 3 tbsp Soy sauce, 1 tbsp Brown sugar, 1 tsp Chili paste, 1 tsp Vinegar, 1 tsp Fish sauce, 1 tsp Ground coriander powder, ½ tsp Cumin powder, ¼ tsp Turmeric powder, 3 large Garlic cloves, 1 inch Fresh Ginger, ¼ tsp Salt, ¼ tsp Pepper
Marinate the chicken - Add the chicken pieces and toss well to coat. Cover and marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature or up to 3 hours in the fridge.
1 kg Chicken
Prepare the skewers - If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes. Thread the chicken onto the skewers, about 4 to 5 pieces per skewer, leaving a little space between each piece so they cook evenly.
Make the peanut sauce - In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, chili paste, cumin, coriander, turmeric, tamarind, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and water. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth and thickened. Add a splash more water if needed for a pourable consistency.
5 - 6 tbsp Peanut butter, ¼ cup Coconut milk, 2 - 3 tbsp Soy sauce, 2 tsp Fish sauce, 1 tsp Chilly paste, ½ tsp Cumin powder, ½ tsp Coriander powder, ¼ tsp Turmeric powder, 1 tsp Tamarind paste, 1 tsp Brown sugar, 3 large Garlic cloves, 1 inch Fresh Ginger, ¼ cup Water
Preheat the grill - Heat the grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates or brush the chicken lightly with oil to prevent sticking.
Grill the chicken - Place the skewers on the hot grill without overcrowding. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred on all sides.
2 tbsp Cooking oil
Brush with sauce - During the last 1 to 2 minutes of cooking, brush the skewers with some of the peanut sauce on both sides.
Serve - Remove from the grill and serve hot with the remaining peanut sauce on the side.
