Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1/2 inch strips

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root

  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce

  • 2 teaspoons peanut oil

  • 4 shallots, minced

  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic

  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root

  • 2 small red chile peppers, seeded and minced

  • ½ cup crunchy peanut butter

  • 1 ¾ cups coconut milk

  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce

  • 2 teaspoons brown sugar

  • 1 ½ tablespoons fish sauce

  • 1 ½ tablespoons lime juice

  • 12 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 1 hour

Directions

  1. Toss chicken, garlic, ginger, and 1 tablespoon fish sauce in a bowl until the chicken is coated in the marinade. Cover, and marinate for 1 hour.

  2. While the chicken is marinating, heat the peanut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots, garlic, ginger, and chile peppers. Cook and stir until the shallot begins to turn golden brown, about 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low, and stir in peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce, and lime juice until blended. Simmer very gently for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep warm.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Thread chicken onto skewers.

  4. Grill chicken skewers on preheated grill until no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with warm peanut sauce.
