Coconut curry grilled chicken kebabs are a delightful fusion of creamy coconut milk, aromatic curry spices, and tender chicken thighs. This recipe is perfect for a summer barbecue or a weeknight dinner, offering a burst of flavors with minimal effort. By marinating the chicken in a rich blend of coconut milk, garlic, curry powder, and other spices, you will achieve juicy, flavorful kebabs that everyone will love.
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, minced garlic, curry powder, fish sauce, crushed red pepper flakes, minced onion, and salt. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
- Add the chicken thigh cubes to the marinade. Toss the chicken in the marinade to ensure all pieces are well coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. For best results, let it marinate for 4-6 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to fully develop.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece to ensure even cooking.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F (190-200°C).
- Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the chicken skewers on the grill. Grill for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
- Serve the coconut curry grilled chicken kebabs with your choice of sides, such as rice, naan bread, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the juiciest kebabs.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat thoroughly.
- For an extra touch of flavor, add a squeeze of lime juice to the marinade.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Grill the kebabs over medium-high heat, turning occasionally for even cooking.
