Method
 

Marinade Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together tamari soy sauce, coconut milk, lime juice, maple syrup, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger until well combined.
  2. The mixture should have a creamy consistency with fragrant aroma wafting through the air.
Marinating Chicken
  1. Add the chicken thighs or breasts into the marinade, ensuring they are thoroughly coated.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or better yet, overnight.
Preparing Skewers
  1. While the chicken is marinating, soak your bamboo skewers in warm water for about 30 minutes.
Grilling Chicken
  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C) and lightly oil the grill grates.
  2. Carefully thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked skewers and grill for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Turn occasionally and brush with any remaining marinade, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Making Optional Sauce
  1. Pour any leftover marinade into a saucepan and reduce it over low heat until thickened, approximately 5-10 minutes.
