Description
Juicy chicken thighs marinated in coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, and spices, then grilled to smoky perfection on skewers. Perfect for BBQs or family dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- Lime wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, lime juice, oil, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Add chicken pieces and toss to coat well. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling. Thread marinated chicken onto skewers.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Grill skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and slightly charred.
- Remove from heat, rest for 2–3 minutes, then garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
For extra flavor, reserve some marinade (before adding chicken) and brush onto skewers while grilling. Serve with jasmine rice, coconut rice, or a fresh salad. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
