Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp turmeric

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, minced garlic, coriander, cumin, and turmeric. Add chicken cubes and toss to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.

3. Thread marinated chicken onto soaked bamboo skewers, dividing evenly.
4. Grill skewers over medium-high heat (or broil) for 3-4 minutes per side, until chicken is cooked through and lightly charred.
5. Serve hot with peanut sauce for dipping.

• Leftover peanut sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
