Servings: 4
Calories: 363kcal
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breasts boneless, skinless (or thighs)
- 1/3 cup cilantro finely chopped
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
- 2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lime
- Extra limes for wedges
Instructions
- Combine all the marinade ingredients in a medium-size bowl.
- Cut chicken into one-inch pieces.
- Add the chicken to the marinade, stir to coat completely. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Thread the chicken pieces onto bamboo skewers, pushing them tightly against each other to form a tight, compact body of meat on the skewers.
- About 30 minutes before heating the grill, remove the chicken from the fridge and let sit at room temperature to remove the chill.
- Heat a gas grill to medium-high or light a charcoal fire, leaving one side free of coals. The grill is ready when you can hold your hand 6 inches (15 cm) over the grill for 4 to 5 seconds.
- Cook the chicken for about 8-10 minutes, turning frequently until cooked through. Check for doneness by pricking with the tip of a knife.
- Serve with lime wedges.
