THAI CHICKEN SKEWERS
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp peanut oil or canola oil
- 1 tbsp Thai yellow, red or green curry paste
- 3 lb (1.5 kg) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
- Bamboo skewers
- 1/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh ginger
Directions
- Combine oil and yellow curry paste in an extra-large heavy zip-lock plastic bag. Add chicken and squeeze bag to coat chicken with mixture. Seal bag and place on a plate. Refrigerate, turning bag occasionally, for at least 6 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Soak bamboo skewers in hot water for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400°F.
- Thread chicken onto soaked skewers. Place chicken skewers in parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheets.
- To prepare glaze, combine chili sauce, hoisin sauce, cilantro and ginger until blended. Brush some glaze over top of chicken, reserving remaining glaze.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove pans from oven and turn chicken skewers over. Brush chicken with remaining glaze. Continue baking for 8 - 10 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
