Preparation Instructions

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, fresh lime juice, salt, and pepper until you have a smooth mixture.
Add the chicken to the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Thread the marinated chicken onto soaked skewers, leaving space between pieces.
Preheat grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates.
Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes on each side until the chicken reaches 74°C (165°F).
Remove from grill, squeeze fresh lime juice over, and serve immediately.
