Method

  1. 1

    Whisk together the vibrant Thai glaze: In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, fresh lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of fiery red chili flakes. Set aside, allowing the flavors to meld.

  2. 2

    Prepare your chicken canvas: Carefully slice the Marinated Chicken Tikka Breast into uniform 1-inch cubes. If using wooden skewers, ensure they are soaked in water for at least 15 minutes to prevent burning.

  3. 3

    Thread the succulent chicken pieces onto the prepared skewers, ensuring even spacing for consistent cooking. Arrange them neatly on a plate, ready for the heat.

  4. 4

    Preheat your grill or grill pan to a medium-high flame, brushing the grates lightly with oil to prevent sticking. You want a sizzling surface to achieve those perfect char marks.

  5. 5

    Place the chicken skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken begins to cook through and develops a beautiful golden-brown crust.

  6. 6

    During the final 5 minutes of grilling, generously brush the skewers with the prepared Thai-inspired glaze, along with a dab of Mumtaz Margarine Butter for extra richness. Continue to turn and baste, allowing the glaze to caramelize and cling to the chicken, creating a sticky, glossy finish.

  7. 7

    Once the chicken is cooked through and the glaze is beautifully caramelized (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C), remove the skewers from the grill.

  8. 8

    Transfer the gleaming skewers to a serving platter. Garnish generously with freshly chopped cilantro, adding a burst of green freshness and aromatic appeal.

  9. 9

    Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of fluffy jasmine rice or a crisp summer salad, and enjoy the irresistible blend of tangy, sweet, and spicy flavors.

👩‍🍳 Chef's tip

For an extra layer of flavor, reserve a small amount of the glaze to drizzle over the cooked skewers just before serving. Don't overcrowd your grill; cook in batches if necessary to maintain consistent heat and achieve perfect searing.
