GRILLED THAI CURRY CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH COCONUT-PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Pound the chicken breasts to an even ½-inch thickness between two pieces of wax or parchment paper. Cut the breasts into 1½" pieces and set aside.
• Make the marinade by combining the soy sauce, dark brown sugar, lime zest, vegetable oil, garlic, curry powder, ginger, cardamom and salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and mix until chicken is evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
• Make the sauce by whisking together the coconut milk, peanut butter, brown sugar, soy sauce and red curry paste in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer, then cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for about 3 minutes. Add the fresh lime juice. Set aside.
• Preheat the grill to high heat. Meanwhile, thread the chicken pieces onto skewers. Grease the grill. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10 minutes, turning once, or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve the chicken skewers with the Coconut-Peanut Sauce and lime wedges, if desired.

Place into oven and roast until completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 25-30 minutes. Then broil for 2-3 minutes, or until caramelized and slightly charred. Serve immediately, garnished with peanuts and cilantro, if desired.

CHICKEN-THIGH KEBABS WITH TURMERIC, CHILE AND SAFFRON

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a nonreactive dish (or a resealable plastic bag), and marinate in the refrigerator between 3 hours and overnight.
• Once the chicken has marinated, discard the onions (or grill them on the side in a grill basket, or sauté on the stovetop, if you like), and thread the chicken onto skewers. Heat a charcoal or gas grill; the flame should be fairly low and the rack about 6 inches from the heat.
• Grill the chicken slowly, turning as necessary and basting with any leftover marinade, until it's browned all over, 15 to 20 minutes.

GRILLED THAI CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Stir together all marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Place the chicken in a large zip-top bag or resealable container and pour in the marinade, making sure the chicken is completely coated. Chicken should marinate at least an hour and up to 48 hours. If prepping the veggies ahead of time, cut into 1-inch pieces and pack them in a second bag or container. Pack chicken & veggies in your cooler.
• In a separate container, mix together all the ingredients for the peanut dipping sauce. Seal and pack in your cooler.
• Fire up your grill or get your campfire going. You'll be cooking the skewers over medium-high to high heat.
• Build your skewers: chicken on their own skewers, and the onions & peppers together. Brush the veggie skewers with oil, and season the chicken skewers with salt.
• Once the grill has reached a medium-high heat, place all the skewers on the grate. Grill, turning often, until the chicken has cooked through (about 10 minutes), and the vegetables are tender (7-10 minutes).
• Serve with the peanut sauce & enjoy!

THAI CHICKEN SATAY SKEWERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all of the ingredients except the coconut milk together in a small bowl. Whisk in a little of the coconut milk at a time until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Refrigerate the sauce until just before you cook the chicken, then leave it at room temperature while the chicken cooks.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, curry powder, turmeric, honey, and fish sauce.
• Using a large resealable plastic bag or a large bowl, combine the chicken and marinade, gently mixing it to ensure all surfaces of the chicken pieces are covered (if using a bowl, be sure to use a spoon or tongs for this step - anything but your hands - so the tumeric doesn't stain your skin). Marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours, turning the bag occasionally to help distribute the marinade.
• Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
• Remove the chicken from the refrigerator then drain off and discard the marinade.
• Gently pat the chicken dry, then thread the chicken onto skewers. Brush the chicken with the oil and season it with the salt and pepper.
• Cook the chicken on the grill until it's completely cooked through, about 12-15 minutes (cooked chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165F before consuming).
• Place the skewers on a serving plate and sprinkle with the peanuts and cilantro (if using). Serve them with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping (you can also just drizzle the sauce over the chicken on the serving plate then add the toppings after).

ONE POT THAI CHICKEN THIGHS + NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C | 400°F.
• To prepare the glaze, combine all of the glaze ingredients in a deep bowl; whisk until combined. Pour about 2 cups of the sauce into a small, non stick saucepan and reserve for later (you need only 1/4 cup of sauce for the marinade).
• Trim any extra skin and fat from the chicken thighs. Place the thighs into 1/4 cup of marinade and toss to evenly coat.
• Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet over high heat and sear the thighs on both sides until browned (about 4-5 minutes each side).
• Transfer to the preheated oven and bake until cooked through (about 25-30 minutes). Change your oven settings to grill or broil, and broil for an extra 3 minutes, or until the skin is caramelised and slightly charred. They will look shiny from the glaze.
• While the chicken is in the oven, bring the remaining glaze to a simmer on low-medium heat, until the sauce bubbles up and begins to thicken (it should take about 3-5 minutes).
• In the last 10 minutes of the chicken cooking time, prepare the rice noodles to package instructions (usually placing them into a bowl and covering in boiling water for 5-6 minutes until softened).
• When the chicken is golden and crispy, remove from the oven; transfer to a warmed plate and keep warm by lightly tenting with foil.
• Drain half of the excess chicken fat from the skillet and remove any charred pieces (this is optional). Heat skillet over medium-high heat and add one cup of the glaze with the prepared noodles. Stir fry for about a minute to combine, add in the bean sprouts and carrots; stir fry for a further minute or two.
• Remove from heat; place the chicken back into the skillet over the noodles.
• Garnish with the green onion slices, red chilli and sprinkle with the crushed peanuts. Serve with the remaining glaze!

THAI CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, and curry paste. Cook over medium heat just until the sauce comes to a gentle simmer, whisking until smooth. Remove from the heat, cover, and set aside. Just before serving, whisk the sauce to bring it back together if it has separated.
• If using bamboo skewers, soak 12 10-inch skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking time. Alternatively, use metal skewers.
• Cut the thighs evenly into 1-1/2-inch pieces. In a medium bowl, whisk the oil, lime juice, curry paste, garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken to the bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 1 day.
• Heat the grill to 500°F. When hot, brush the grill grate clean. Prepare the grill for direct cooking, and reduce the temperature to medium-high heat (400°F to 450°F). Thread the chicken pieces on the skewers so that they are just touching but not tightly packed together.
• Grill the skewers over direct medium-high heat with the lid closed until the meat is firm to the touch and opaque all the way to the center, turning once or twice, 8 to 10 minutes. Arrange the skewers on a platter, and garnish with the sliced scallions. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce and lime wedges.

THAI-STYLE CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Pound each chicken breast between 2 lightly oiled sheets of parchment or waxed paper into a 4 by 4 inch piece about 1/8-inch thick.
• Lay a piece of chicken smooth-side down on the work surface. Spread 1/2 teaspoon of the chile paste over the surface and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Trim and halve the scallions lengthwise. Lay them side-by-side across the lower third of the chicken, so there is white and greens at both ends. Top with 2 or 3 pieces of the red and yellow peppers. Roll the chicken around the vegetables into a tight cylinder. Thread a wooden skewer through the seam of the roll to seal. Repeat with the remaining chicken and vegetables to make 4 rolls. These can be made up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in an oven-proof nonstick skillet over high heat. Season the rolls with salt and pepper, to taste. Lay the rolls, seam side down, in the pan, and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Meanwhile, make the sauce. Combine the lime juice, fish sauce, water, chile paste, honey, mint and coriander in a small bowl and set aside.
• To serve: Carefully remove the skewers, taking care to keep the rolls intact. Cut across the rolls to make round pieces about 3/4-inch thick, and thread onto skewers. Transfer to a platter, sprinkle with peanuts and serve with the dipping sauce.

EASY THAI CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 30 minutes.
• Mix all marinade ingredients together.
• Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes or strips and thread onto skewers. (Alternatively, you can marinate the chicken first and thread onto skewers just before grilling.)
