Coconut curry grilled chicken kebabs

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:

1. Prepare the Marinade:
- 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.
2. Marinate the Chicken:
- 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.
3. Prepare the Skewers:
- 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.
4. Preheat the Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 375-400°F (190-200°C).
5. Grill the Kebabs:
- 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).
6. Serve:
- 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.
