Asian Chicken Skewers!!

Can't get more 'summery' feeling then grilling chicken skewers outside by the pool!  They are a bit spicy, yet nice and sweet! These are easy, and so very yummy! I serve them with Knorr's curried rice you can buy at the grocery store and with a cold, crisp salad!  Simple, weekday, throw together meal!


Almost done!

Asian Chicken Skewers!

About 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs~ cut into 1 1/2 -2 inch pieces
6 oz mild sweet chili sauce
1 Tbsp ponzu sauce, sold in Asian aisle in grocery store (or substitute 1 tsp soy sauce)
2 tsp fish sauce, sold in Asian aisle
1Tbsp Red Curry Paste
1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
Skewers, metal or wooded (if wooden, soak first for 30 minutes before you skewer the chicken)

Marinate the cut up chicken pieces in the stirred up sauce in a large bowl, or large zip lock bag for about 15 minutes, then skewer the chicken, sometimes folding up pieces. Put as many pieces as you'd like on the skewers, close, but not too pushed together. Take marinade and put into saucepan and bring it to a boil. Put skewers on an oiled grill at medium heat.  Grill them for about 7-10 minutes, turning them, and basting with the marinade you just boiled up.  I had a lot of chicken pieces on these skewers, so I cooked them about 10-11 minutes with grill lid open, then 2 more minutes with grill lid shut.  That worked out well!  Take them off grill, and put onto platter, and tent with aluminum foil for about 4 minutes, then serve!  Really easy!
