- Juice of 2 fresh limes
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Thai red curry paste
- 2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions
- Marinate the chicken: In a bowl, whisk together coconut milk, lime juice, minced garlic, red curry paste, and brown sugar until smooth. Add chicken pieces and coat well. Let marinate for at least 1 hour.
- Soak the skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill to medium-high (400°F or 200°C).
- Assemble the skewers: Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers, leaving space between pieces.
- Grill: Cook skewers on the grill for 5-7 minutes per side or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Serve: Allow skewers to rest briefly before serving with an extra squeeze of lime juice over the top.
