Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs (700g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into strips
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3g) turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1g) cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 cup (120g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Add the chicken strips and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked wooden skewers.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
