Spicy Asian Chicken Skewers, perfect for the grill and packed with flavor. This recipe is so dang good with the gochuchung, sriracha, and sambal! I’ve got you covered on flavor bombs with all three of the GOAT chili sauces.
These Spicy Asian Chicken Skewers are perfect for the grill! As the early spring weather moves into the Midwest we start dusting off our grills; though some of us have had them fired up all winter!
Grilled chicken can get boring and that’s why I’m always trying new flavor combinations and marinades. This recipe is so dang good with the gochuchung, sriracha, and sambal! I’ve got you covered on flavor bombs with all three of the GOAT chili sauces.
I served these with a drizzle of peanut sauce, white rice, and a simple cucumber and radish salad.
Serves: 2
Time: 1 hour
Ingredients for Spicy Asian Chicken Skewers with Peanut Sauce:
Chicken Marinade:
1 lbs Chicken breast- Thinly sliced and cut into 2 inch rectangles.
2 garlic gloves minced
1 Tablespoon Gochuchung (not necessary but ads great flavor
2 Tablespoons Sambal (Can sub sriracha)
1/2 Tablespoon sriracha
1 Tablespoon Low Sodium Soy Sauce (Sub Tamari for a gluten free version)
1/4 cup avocado oil (avocado oil is good to use when grilling because it has a high smoke point)
1/2 Tablespoon honey (optional)
Black Pepper
Garlic Powder
Extras** Crushed peanuts (or any nut) and diced green onion**
Peanut Sauce:
2 Tablespoon Creamy Peanut Butter (slightly melted if needed)
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce (Tamari for a gluten free option)
1 Tablespoon Honey or Maple Syrup
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Tablespoon water (Keep adding water until this is the consistency you want)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, add the garlic, gochuchung, sambal, sriracha, soy sauce, oil, honey, garlic powder and black pepper. Mix together the ingredients. This will create the chicken marinade.
- Thinly slice the chicken breasts down the middle creating two cutlets. Then, cut each cutlet into two inch rectangles (or squares) however you like your chicken on skewers.
- Place the chopped chicken in the bowl with the marinade. Cover with wrap and place in fridge for at least an hour. You can marinade the chicken for up to 24 hours.
- While your chicken is marinating soak your wooden skewers in water. Soaking the skewers before assembly will keep the wooden sticks from burning on the grill.
- Add the chicken to the skewers (if you used two inch rectangles you should be able to fold the chicken and stick the skewer for secure placement).
- On medium heat, grill each skewer turning them about every 3 minutes, until each side is perfectly done. This should take about 10 min or three turns of the skewers.
Peanut Sauce:
- In a bowl, mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, and olive oil.
- Once all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, add water to thin the consistency to preference.
- Drizzle the peanut sauce on top of the Spicy Asian Chicken Skewers once done grilling and top with extras (green onion and crushed peanuts).
