  3. Skewer the chicken onto the soaked bamboo skewers so that there is a small 1/8'' gap between the pieces.
  4. Grill the chicken on medium high heat until the exterior darkens and browns and chicken has firmed up and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, about 10 minutes. Baste with butter occasionally if desired.

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together coconut milk, peanut butter, brown sugar, red curry paste, chili garlic sauce and lime juice. Whisk until smooth, If you want the sauce a little thinner, add in 1/4 cup water. Will last for up to a week in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

  • Tip: Using full-fat canned coconut milk in this recipe is preferred and will produce a thicker marinade and sauce.
