Recipe for Thai Rub

Grilled Thai Coconut Chicken Skewers

Prep Time: 20 mins (+1 hr marinating) | Cook Time: 10 mins | Servings: 4

Ingredients:

For the Marinade:

• 1.5 lbs (700g) boneless chicken thighs (or breasts), cut into 1-inch strips

• 3 tbsp Thai Rub (SpicenEasy)

• 1/2 cup coconut milk (full-fat for best flavor)

• 2 tbsp fish sauce (or soy sauce for vegetarian)

• 1 tbsp honey or brown sugar

• 1 tbsp lime juice

• 2 garlic cloves, minced

• 1 tsp turmeric (optional, for color)

For Serving:

• 12 bamboo skewers (soaked in water 30 mins)

• Fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and sliced red chili

• Peanut sauce or sweet chili sauce for dipping

Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken:

   • In a bowl, whisk together Thai Rub, coconut milk, fish sauce, honey, lime juice, and garlic.

   • Add chicken strips, coating evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 1–4 hours (longer = more flavor).

2. Skewer the Chicken:

   • Thread chicken onto soaked skewers, folding strips accordion-style for even cooking.

3. Grill or Broil:

   • Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high (400°F/200°C). Grill skewers for 3–4 mins per side until charred and cooked through.

   • Broiler: Place skewers on a lined baking sheet. Broil 4–5 mins per side, 6 inches from heat.

4. Serve:

   • Garnish with cilantro, chili, and lime. Serve with peanut sauce for dipping.

Why It’s a Hit:

🌶️ Bold Thai Flavors – The rub’s lemongrass, ginger, and chili pair perfectly with creamy coconut.
🔥 Fast & Foolproof – Great for weeknights or summer BBQs.
🍗 Juicy & Tender – Thighs stay moist, but breasts work too.

Pro Tips:

• No skewers? Cook chicken in a grill pan or bake at 425°F (220°C) for 15–20 mins.

• Vegetarian? Use tofu or king oyster mushrooms.

• Extra heat? Add 1/2 tsp cayenne to the marinade.

Pair with: Coconut rice, cucumber salad, or grilled pineapple.
