Thai Chicken Skewer Appetizers with Sweet and Spicy Chili Sauce will get rave reviews from your guests. People love food on skewers, especially during parties when everything is standing around chatting. Thai Chicken Skewer Appetizers with Sweet and Spicy Chili Sauce - delicious, healthy appetizer great for summer entertaining

If you’re looking for something a little different to serve this holiday season, you must try these Thai Chicken Skewer Appetizers with Sweet and Spicy Chili Sauce. I made these for the book signing event along with Roasted Shrimp Cocktail and Prosciutto Wrapped Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates, and they were by far one of the favorite appetizers. I got so many compliments for these fun skewers. The marinade is the key – no one could quite put their finger on the ingredients, but they loved the flavor.

These Thai chicken skewer appetizers and dipping sauce can be marinated the day before – in fact, I think marinating the chicken overnight is best for more flavor. All you need to do is throw these on the grill (I used my panini press) right before your guests arrive. Serve on a banana leaf-lined platter for a fun presentation (I bought a pack from the local Asian grocery store). Instead of serving the dipping sauce on the side, I spooned some on top of each skewer. It was easier to serve them that way. Note that the sauce is pretty concentrated in flavor and a little goes a long way, so don’t worry that there doesn’t seem to be enough sauce.

Thai Chicken Skewered Appetizer with Sweet and Spicy Chili Sauce

Be sure to marinade the chicken for best flavor. A little sauce goes a long way, so I brushed the skewers with the sauce instead of serving it as a dipping sauce.

    These sound amazing – kind of like inside out dumplings. I have to make for our next party! P.S. What GF Brand of Oyster Sauce do you use? So far, I can only find one option and it’s driving me nuts!

    Thanks Alyssa – the marinade is terrific – everyone was asking what was in it. I use Lee Kum Kee oyster sauce (green label). Which one do you use?
