Seriously Simple: Restaurant-style Thai dish easily made at home
1 tablespoon honey
1. If using bamboo skewers, immerse skewers in cold water to soak for at least 1 hour. This will prevent them from burning when grilled.
2. Combine marinade ingredients in medium-sized bowl. Reserve 3 tablespoons. Whisk until blended.
3. Skewer the chicken and arrange in shallow non-aluminum dish. Pour marinade over and marinate up to six hours.
4. Make the Sauce: In a serving bowl combine all the sauce ingredients together, including the reserved marinade, and whisk to combine. Taste for seasoning. Reserve.
5. If using a grill pan, skillet or griddle, spray the pan with oil and then place it over medium-high heat. If using a barbecue, prepare a fire and heat until the coals are glowing.
6. Cook the chicken, turning with the help of a spatula in order to cook evenly on all sides, about 3 minutes on each side, or until just cooked through and no pinkness remains. Arrange skewers on large plate. Serve with the peanut sauce.
