Instructions
- Chicken - Trim the chicken pieces of excess fat and pat them dry. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and place them into a large mixing bowl.1 lb Chicken thighs
- Marinade - In. a small bowl, combine all the marinade ingredients.

- Marinate - Pour half the marinade into the chicken and save the remaining for the curry sauce. Let the chicken marinate for an hour on the counter or for up to 8 hours in the fridge. Pro tip - Do not use a metal bowl to marinate, as the acid in the marinade can react with the metal.
- Sauce - Add the remaining marinade into a saucepan or frying pan over medium heat. Add the coconut milk and chicken stock. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thick. Sprinkle with parsley and pour into a sauce boat.½ cup Chicken stock or water, 2 tbsp Parsley , ½ cup Coconut milk
- Skewer - Thread the chicken on the skewers. Make sure not to overcrowd them on the skewers so they cook evenly. Pro tip - You can also thread the chicken on the skewers ahead of time and leave them in the fridge until ready to grill.10 Skewers
- Grill - Heat a grill pan on medium-high heat. Place a few skewers at a time - do not overcrowd the grill. Brush each skewer with cooking oil. Pro tip - You can control the char marks on the chicken by raising and lowering the heat under the grill.
- Cook - Let it cook for at least 3 minutes before you try to move it. When it's done on one side, it will release from the pan. Turn to the other side and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes.Pro tip - As a guide, each skewer with chicken breasts takes 5 to 6 minutes to cook on all sides. Skewer with chicken thigh meat will take about 8 to 10 minutes on all sides.
