Thai Chicken Skewers

These Thai style skewers have a lovely warming and sweet flavour from the chilli and the coconut. Add the sauce and you almost have a satay, and it is super simple.

While it looks like there are a lot of ingredients, if you like Asian flavours, most of them will be in your store cupboard anyway. If not find your local Asian supermarket and have a wander. You may find a lot of other amazing ingredients you want to try while you're there.

Method

Preparing your chicken

Debone and skin your chicken thighs, then cut each into 3 strips.
In a bowl add all of the other marinade ingredients and mix together.
Add the chicken thigh pieces, and mix to cover with the marinade.
Marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably more.
Once your thighs are marinated, thread them onto six skewers.

Prepare your glaze

Add the coconut cream, honey and soy to a bowl and mix together.

Cooking your chicken

Set up your Egg for a direct cook with your rotisserie at 200°C.
Add your loaded skewers and cook at 200°C.
Every 5 minutes, baste your skewers with a little of the glaze.
Cook until the chicken thighs have an internal temperature of at least 74°C.

For the sauce

Take all of the sauce ingredients and mix together in a bowl.
You may wish to warm this, if so place the sauce in a heat-proof container and warm either on your Egg or on the hob.
