Method
To make the marinade:
In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, curry powder, turmeric, garlic, ginger, brown sugar and fish sauce.
Add chicken into the large bowl with coconut milk mixture and combine well; marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, turning occasionally.
To make the peanut sauce:
Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, chilli sauce, garlic and ginger in a small bowl. Whisk in 1-2 tablespoons water until desired consistency is reached; set aside
Preparing the skewers:
Light your charcoal or gas BBQ and heat to medium-high.
Drain the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade.
Thread chicken onto skewers. Brush with canola oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Cooking the skewers:
Add skewers to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 75 degrees C, about 8 minutes.
Serve immediately with peanut sauce.
