Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- Juice of 1 lime
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
- Skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes if wooden)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 teaspoon chili paste (like sambal oelek)
- 1/4 cup warm water (more for desired consistency)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, lime juice, and chili flakes.
- Add chicken to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best flavor).
- Thread marinated chicken onto skewers.
- Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
- Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and nicely charred.
- For the peanut sauce, whisk all ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Adjust with more warm water for desired thickness.
- Serve chicken skewers hot with a side of peanut sauce for dipping and lime wedges on the side.
Notes
- For best flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
- Adjust the spiciness of the peanut sauce by adding more or less chili paste.
- Use wooden skewers that have been soaked in water to prevent burning on the grill.
