Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 ½-inch pieces

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 2 tablespoons red Thai curry paste

  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (plus more for grilling)

  • Fresh chopped cilantro, for garnish (optional)

  • Lime wedges, for serving

  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, red Thai curry paste, fish sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and vegetable oil.

  2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, tossing to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.

  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.

  4. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

  5. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.

  6. Grill the kebabs for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges.

  7. Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges if desired.

Notes

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.

  • Use chicken thighs for the juiciest results—avoid overcooking.

  • For gluten-free, substitute tamari for soy sauce.

  • Coconut milk can be added for a creamier, sweeter flavor.

  • These kebabs are great for meal prep and freeze well both raw and cooked.
