- 50 ml Coconut Milk

Instructions
Marinate the Chicken:
- 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.

- 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.
