Instructions
Prep Ahead
- Cut the chicken, if needed, and thread onto skewers. Transfer to a resealable bag or container.

- Store chicken and sauce ingredients in the fridge for up to 7 days, or the freezer for up to 3 months.

Make From Fresh
- Cut the chicken into long strips, then skewer. Set aside.
- Combine the rest of ingredients in a bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Add the sauce to a large, wide saucepan set over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then lower the heat. Cook at a simmer for a further 10 minutes, until the sauce thickly coats the back of a spoon.
- Add the skewers and turn in the sauce to coat.
- Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Turn occasionally to prevent the sauce from burning.
- Remove the chicken skewers from the pan and set aside. Spoon any remaining sauce into a bowl to be used as a dipping sauce on the skewers.
Notes
For best flavor, allow the chicken to marinate for a few hours before cooking.
