These Thai chicken skewers only take 15 minutes to cook and prep, making them a perfect choice for a quick, flavorful meal. They are marinated in a vibrant blend of lime juice, Khao Man Gai sauce, and coconut milk, delivering a lot of flavor in a short amount of time.
In a bowl, combine the lime juice, salt, Khao Man Gai sauce, and coconut milk. Add the chicken chunks, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade.
Cover and refrigerate to marinate for 1-2 hours, or for optimal flavor, leave overnight.
Cook the Chicken:
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the marinated chicken. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until a nice crust develops and the chicken is cooked through.
Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 2 minutes before skewering.
Optional Char:
If desired, place a stovetop grill or Papad Jali over medium heat.
Char the skewered chicken on each side for about 5 to 10 seconds, giving them a delightful smoky flavor.
