Easy Thai Green Curry Chicken Skewers

Fire up the grill with a delicious twist on Thai flavors. While traditionally served as a creamy curry, Watcharee’s Green Curry Sauce also works beautifully as a marinade for chicken skewers, creating layers of aromatic Thai herbs, coconut milk, and warm spices with smoky grilled flavor.

For even deeper flavor, you can add fresh garlic and cilantro paste to the marinade if you feel like cooking a little extra. But honestly, this recipe is just as delicious the easy way — simply coat your favorite protein with the sauce, let it marinate, and head straight to the grill or air fryer. Quick, easy, and packed with authentic Thai-inspired flavor.

Ingredients

• 1/3 jar Watcharee’s Green Curry Sauce
• 3 boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 4–5 garlic cloves
• 4–5 stems fresh cilantro
• 1 tbsp fish sauce
• 15 bamboo skewers, soak in water
• 1 tbsp neutral oil (optional for grilling)
• Fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and sliced chili for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Pound garlic and cilantro into a rough paste using a mortar and pestle. You can also use your hands to break them into small pieces before pounding. This step is optional but adds extra flavor.
2. Combine chicken, garlic-cilantro paste, Watcharee’s Green Curry Sauce, and fish sauce in a bowl. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Thread chicken onto bamboo skewers like sewing, pushing the chicken pieces tightly against each other, about 2–3 pieces per skewer.
4. Brush the skewers with leftover green curry marinade before cooking.
5. Mist or lightly brush the chicken skewers with oil.
6. Air fry at 400°F for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, or grill over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes until lightly charred and fully cooked. Brush with additional sauce while grilling if desired. Serve with rice, sticky rice, noodles, and quick pickle.
