Ingredients

Marinade

  • 60 ml Soy sauce, shoyu

  • 3 spoons Sugar, brown

  • pieces Juice, lime

  • pieces Lime, fresh

  • 1 piece Chili peppers, red chili, fresh

  • pieces Ginger, fresh

  • 2 spoons Oil, vegetable oil, canola

  • 3 pods Garlic, fresh

  • pieces Salt, table

  • 800 g Meat, chicken, thighs

  • pieces Coriander, leaves, fresh

  • pieces Lime, fresh

Steps

  1. Wash the chicken, dry it well with paper towels, and cut it into approximately 1 cm pieces. Wash and clean the chili (remove the stem and seeds). Cut about 2/3 of it into rings, and save 1/3 for later. Peel and finely chop the garlic. Peel and finely grate the ginger.

  2. In a large bowl, mix the soy sauce, sugar, lime juice and zest, garlic, ginger, oil, and the chili rings. Once the sugar dissolves, taste the marinade and add a little salt if desired. Add the chicken pieces to the bowl and mix well with the marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 4 hours to allow the chicken to absorb all the flavors.

  3. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto wooden skewers. Heat a little oil in a large pan and cook the skewers over medium heat. Turn them during cooking to ensure the chicken pieces are nicely browned on all sides.

  4. Finely chop the remaining chili and wash the cilantro, shake it well, and roughly chop it. Serve the cooked skewers on plates, sprinkle with chili and cilantro, and serve with a side of your choice and lime wedges.
