Ingredients
1.5 lbs chicken thighs or breasts
3 tbsp chili garlic sauce
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
2 tbsp lime juice (plus more for garnish)
1 cup coconut milk
2 cloves garlic, minced

3 cups cooked rice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

2. Add chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes (1-2 hours preferred).
3. Mix coconut milk with lime juice, chili sauce, and salt. Chill the sauce until serving.
4. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Thread chicken onto skewers.
5. Grill chicken for 5-6 minutes per side or until charred and cooked through.

Let the chicken marinate longer for deeper flavor.
Use full-fat coconut milk for a richer drizzle.
Grill marks add flavor—don’t be afraid of char.
