Report
Juicy chicken thighs are marinated in an easy Thai-flavored marinade, then skewered and grilled until a little charred. And of course, don't forget the spicy peanut sauce that you'll be wanting to put on absolutely everything!

Ingredients
Marinade
- 2 Tbsp pineapple juice
- 2 Tbsp dark soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp coconut milk from a can, shaken very well before opening
- 2 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp fish sauce
- 1/2 Tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp Thai red curry paste
- 1 tsp sriracha
- 3 cloves garlic grated or pressed through a garlic press
- 1 1/2 tsp fresh ginger grated
- 1/4 tsp basil dried
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 - 2 lbs. chicken thigh trimmed of excess fat and sliced into 1 inch pieces, boneless, skinless
Peanut Sauce
- 1/2 cup peanut butter natural creamy
- 1/3 cup coconut milk from a can, shaken very well before opening
- 2 Tbsp lime juice
- 1 1/2 Tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh ginger grated
- 1 Tbsp packed light brown sugar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 tsp Chili garlic sauce I usually use Huy Fong Foods brand
- 1 tsp Thai red curry paste
Garnish
- chopped cilantro fresh
- liced Thai chiles
- chopped peanuts
Instructions
- If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. If using metal, no need to soak.
Marinate the chicken
- Add marinade ingredients, except chicken, to a large mixing bowl. Whisk well, then stir in chicken pieces. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Make peanut sauce
- Add all peanut sauce ingredients to a small mixing bowl and whisk well to combine. Sauce should be thick, but still a pourable sauce. If sauce is too thick, add some warm water, a little at a time, whisking after each addition, until desired consistency is reached. Set aside.
Prepare kebabs
- Thread marinated chicken pieces onto skewers and add the skewers to a wax paper lined baking sheet (for transport to the grill).
Grill chicken
- Brush grill grates with vegetable oil and preheat grill over MED HIGH heat.
- When the grill is hot, add skewers to the grill, close the lid, and cook 8-10 minutes, flipping once or twice during cooking. Chicken should be golden brown with a little char, and be cooked through.
Garnish and serve
- Add cooked skewers to a platter, and sprinkle them with cilantro, Thai chiles and some chopped peanuts. Serve a bowl of the sauce, also topped with a little chopped peanuts and sliced chiles, so the skewers can be dipped in the sauce before eating. Sauce may also be drizzled over the skewers.
Notes
- I recommend dark soy sauce, for both the bolder flavor and color. Regular light soy sauce can be used, but the color will be lighter.
- Be careful when using Thai chiles. They can vary a bit in heat level, but they can be up to 20x hotter than a jalapeno on the scoville scale. If you don't like spicy, don't use them as a garnish!
- Heat broiler to HIGH, then line a baking sheet (with a rim) with foil. Add kebabs and broil 10-15 minutes, turning every 4-5 minutes, until cooked through. This time may vary depending on your broiler and oven.
- Heat grill pan or griddle over MED HIGH heat and brush the pan with an oil that can stand high heats, like vegetable or avocado oil.
- Add kebabs and cook about 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes, until all sides are a little charred and chicken is cooked through. The exact time may vary a bit, depending on the pan used and your stovetop.
