Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into nugget sized pieces. Remove any fat you don’t want (you can save and freeze the fat to make schmaltz at a later time).

Step 2

Skewer the chicken on bamboo sticks (or fancy skewers if you’d like). Set aside.

Step 3

Place all marinade ingredients in a blender or bowl with immersion blender ready (you may also use a food processor). Blend until smooth.

Step 4

Pour marinade into a bag and submerge the skewers.

Step 5

Lay flat in the fridge and marinate for at least 1 hour (up to 8 for the best flavor).

Step 6

Heat a grill to medium-high (roughly 375°F).

Step 7

Remove skewers from the fridge and bag. Place aside on a plate to carry to the grill.

Step 8

Place skewers on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 9

Remove from heat and place on a serving platter.

Step 10

(Optional) Sprinkle with sesame seeds, chopped peanuts, and scallions. Serve with lime quarters on the side.

Step 11
