Thai Chicken Skewers With Cucumber Yogurt Dipping Sauce

These Thai Chicken Skewers with Cucumber Yogurt Dip have the most amazing flavor! The Thai spices on the chicken are so good complemented with the cucumber yogurt sauce for dipping (which is an authentic and incredibly delicious sauce from our friend from India). I am completely in love with Thai and Indian flavor dishes. If you have been too nervous to step out of your food comfort zone these skewers are a great place to start. Try them out for your next BBQ, you will not be disappointed! Great as an appetizer or a main dish. The best part is that there is so much flavor and so few calories!!

Cooking Methods

We love cooking these skewers on our outdoor gas grill or charcoal grill but sometimes the weather just doesn’t cooperate. An indoor grill pan or griddle is a solid option if you can’t use an outdoor grill. You can also cook these skewers in the oven at 350-degrees F for 15-20 minutes or you can place them in the broiler for 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooke through. No matter how you cook them, be sure to soak the skewers for at least 20 minutes if they are wooden. Metal skewers can also be used if wooden skewers aren’t available.

What Goes Well with Grilled Chicken Skewers

We love serving these skewers with plain or flavored Jasmine rice or roasted vegetables. We like to flavor our Jasmine rice with a little lemon juice or lime juice and some chopped cilantro to give it a little extra boost. Serve with soy sauce on the side if needed. You can also serve these skewers with our Easy Yellow Rice, Cilantro Lime Rice, or Rice Pilaf. Read Next: 35+ Quick and Easy To Follow Dinner Ideas Your Family Will Surely Love
