Instructions

First, prepare the marinade: In a large glass or ceramic bowl, whisk together coconut milk, minced garlic, brown sugar, curry powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken pieces and toss thoroughly to ensure even coating. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to absorb the flavors.
Next, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grate to prevent sticking.
Take the marinated chicken pieces out of the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid. Thread the chicken onto skewers. Discard the remaining marinade safely.
Now, it's time for the peanut sauce: In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, chicken stock, peanut butter, brown sugar, and curry powder. Whisk constantly over medium-high heat until the mixture begins to simmer. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer, whisking frequently, until the sauce becomes smooth and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in fresh lime juice, soy sauce, and a pinch of salt.
While the peanut sauce simmers, place the chicken skewers on the preheated grill. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, approximately 4 to 5 minutes on each side. To ensure doneness, an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
Finally, serve the grilled chicken skewers immediately with the warm, flavorful peanut sauce. Enjoy!
