Description

This fun and delicious Thai Chicken Skewers recipe is a weeknight dinner option with an absolutely yummy creamy almond sauce! 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 lbs chicken tenders

Chicken Marinade:

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce (sub coconut aminos)
  • 2 teaspoons fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • pinch of salt

Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (sub coconut aminos)
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, freshly grated
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter

Instructions

  1. Marinate Chicken: Combine Marinade ingredients in medium bowl and whisk together. Place chicken in a large bowl or storage bag and pour marinade over top. Place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or overnight if prepping ahead).
  2. Prep Sauce: Combine Dipping Sauce ingredients in a small bowl, whisk, and set aside.
  3. Prep Grill: Preheat the gas grill to a medium-high heat and make sure the grill grates are clean.
  4. Cook Chicken: Remove chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess liquid to drip off. Discard remaining marinade. Put a metal or wooden skewer down the middle of each chicken tender. Repeat until all chicken tenders are on a skewer. Place chicken skewers directly on the hot grates and grill on medium high heat, 2-3 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 162 degrees F, use a meat thermometer). Remove carefully from grill. Let meat rest for 5-10 minutes (the internal temp will continue to rise as it rests to a final temp of ~165 degrees F).
  5. Serve: Enjoy chicken with almond sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Dip: we love the creamy almond sauce in this recipe, but feel free to swap with peanut butter or make our Peanut Sauce Recipe!
  • Storage: leftover chicken skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. Just store the chicken separate from the dipping sauce for easy reheating.
