Step 1
Mix together the peanut oil (or more olive oil), olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic puree, ginger puree, fresh lime juice, and curry powder to make the marinade.
Step 2
Trim chicken, removing all visible fat and tendons.
Step 3
Cut chicken breasts into 4 or 5 crosswise strips. (For thighs, cut into two pieces each.)
Step 4
Arrange chicken in single layer in Ziploc bag, pour marinade over and marinate at least 8 hours in the refrigerator. If you’re going to be home, turn it a few times, but it’s not essential.
Step 5
To cook, drain chicken in a colander in the sink and let it come to room temperature while you preheat gas or charcoal grill to medium high.
Step 6
Spray the grill with non-stick spray or brush with oil before you heat. (You can also brush a little oil directly on the kabobs after you’ve assembled them.)
Step 7
Thread chicken on to skewers, folding each piece over so it won’t spin around on the skewer. I like blade shaped skewers (affiliate link) or double skewers (affiliate link) to prevent the meat from spinning.
Step 8
Put chicken on grill and cook about 8 minutes, rotating a partial turn a few times for maximum grill marks.
Step 9
Then turn chicken over and cook about 5 minutes more, or until chicken feels firm but not hard to the touch.
Step 10
For best results, use an instant-read meat thermometer (affiliate link) and take the chicken off when it reaches 165F/75C. (See more about safe temperatures for food.)
Step 11
Serve hot.
Step 12
Leftover grilled chicken would be great on a salad like this one.
