Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon tamarind paste
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon grated garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
For the toppings:
- 2 tablespoons crushed peanuts
- red chilies sliced
- fresh cilantro chopped
- lime wedges
Instructions
- Make the marinade. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, tamarind paste, peanut butter, garlic, ginger, and vegetable oil until smooth.
- Marinate the chicken. Add the chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor.
- Assemble the skewers. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces so they cook evenly.
- Grill the skewers. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Cook the skewers for 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
- Finish and serve. Transfer to a platter and sprinkle with crushed peanuts, red chilies, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
