Ingredients

Marinade

  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • ¼ onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼-½ tsp red cayenne pepper adjust for how much spice you like
  • 1 tsp ground ginger
  • 2 Tbsp ground coriander
  • ½ tsp turmeric
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 3 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 6 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Chicken

  • 3 large chicken breasts
  • 4.5 inch wood skewers

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a bowl. Whisk until combined.

  2. Slice chicken into 1/4 inch pieces. Place on skewers. Place in a gallon size zip-lock bag. Pour in the marinade and tip from side to side allowing all the chicken to get coated with the marinade. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least one hour. The longer the better.

  3. Preheat the grill to 400°F. Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. It really doesn't take that long. Check with a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is 165°F. Remove from the grill and enjoy with peanut sauce.
