Calories: 165kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs cut in 2" pieces
- lime wedges for serving
- cilantro for serving
- jasmine rice for serving
Marinade:
- ¼ cup Serious Foodie Sri Lankan Coconut Lime Hot Sauce
- 1 teaspoons coconut sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
- Stir in the chicken and let it marinade in the fridge for 8 hours or overnight.
- Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes and drain.
- Place the chicken pieces on the skewers.
- Heat a grill over medium heat (can also use the broiler).
- Cook the chicken on the grill (or under the broiler) for 3-5 minutes/side.
- Remove and serve over rice with cilantro, limes and extra hot sauce.
Notes
- Soaking the bamboo skewers in water helps them not to burn on the grill.
- Make sure to marinade the chicken for at least 4 hours to get the best results. Recommend 8 hours or more, but you can do four if you're in a rush.
- Add vegetables/fruit such as red peppers, mushrooms, pineapple, etc. to the marinade to cook with the chicken.
- While chicken thighs work the best, you can also use chicken breast. Just be careful not to overcook as it fries out quickly.
