Ingredients
Scale
Marinade:
- 4–5 slices Fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dark soy sauce
- 1 can (400 mL) Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Chicken:
- 1 kg Chicken (dark meat preferred, thighs or drumsticks, boneless and cut into chunks)
- Skewers (if using wooden, soak in water for at least 30 minutes)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Marinade. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ginger, garlic, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- Step 2: Marinate the Chicken. Add the chicken chunks to the bowl, turning to coat them well with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours if you have time).
- Step 3: Assemble the Skewers. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto your soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each chunk for even cooking.
- Step 4: Preheat the Grill. Preheat your grill or stovetop grill pan to medium-high heat. Oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
- Step 5: Grill the Skewers. Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, until the chicken is nicely charred and cooked through.
- Step 6: Serve and Enjoy. Remove from the grill, squeeze fresh lime juice over the skewers, and serve immediately.
