Steps:

• Combine the oil, thyme, brown sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, allspice, scallions, garlic, chiles, ginger, shallot, lime juice, 2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of black pepper in a food processor and pulse until you have a coarse paste; this is the marinade. Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade and refrigerate, covered, for later use. Combine the remaining marinade with the chicken in a medium bowl and massage it into the meat, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours and up to overnight.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high indirect heat (for a gas grill, leave one or two burners on low or off; for a charcoal grill, bank the coals on one side of the grill). Lightly brush the grill grates with oil.
• Combine the sweet potatoes with the reserved 1/4 cup marinade in a medium bowl, tossing to coat; set aside. Thread a piece of chicken, pineapple and then mango onto one of four 10- to 12-inch metal skewers. Continue threading the ingredients in an alternating pattern until you have 4 pieces of each ingredient on the skewer. Repeat with the remaining skewers.
• Grill the sweet potatoes over direct heat, turning once, until lightly charred on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Move them to the indirect side of the grill and place the skewers over the direct heat. Cook, turning the skewers occasionally, until they are dark golden all over, about 10 minutes.
• Cover the grill and close the air vents halfway so the temperature remains around 350 degrees F. Cook until the sweet potatoes are soft and the chicken is cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes more.
• Transfer the skewers and sweet potatoes to a large platter and serve with a green salad.

GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH MANGO AND PINEAPPLE

• Assemble 4 skewers from ingredients in following order: onion, chicken, mango, chicken, pineapple, chicken, onion. Repeat twice more to complete the skewer.
• Lay skewers in shallow pan. Pour 1/4 cup of marinade into small dish and set aside. Brush remaining marinade over skewers, coating all sides evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate about an hour.
• Light charcoal fire and let burn until charcoal is covered with gray ash but still very hot. Or, if using gas grill or grill pan, set on medium-high heat. When grill grates or grill pan are quite hot, remove skewers from marinade (discard excess marinade in pan); brush lightly with oil. Lay oiled skewers on hot grates and grill until marked on all four sides and cooked through, 10 - 12 minutes total.
• Arrange skewers on serving platter, drizzle with reserved 1/4 cup marinade, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

GRILLED CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH TARRAGON AND YOGURT

Steps:

• Prepare the chicken: Cut each thigh in half against the grain. Rub with salt and set aside.
• Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, lime juice, olive oil, salt and garlic. Reserve and refrigerate 1 cup marinade for serving. Put remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag and add the ginger, cumin and chicken; squelch around to coat thoroughly then refrigerate for 1 hour, or up to 48 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the refrigerator 1 hour before you plan to grill. If using wooden skewers, immerse them in water to soak for 15 minutes. Alternatively, use metal skewers or none at all.
• Prepare the grill: Clean the grate thoroughly and build a hot fire. The skewers will cook over intense, direct heat. The coals are ready when they glow red and the grate hisses when you drop water on it.
• Thread the chicken lengthwise onto skewers (if using), then smear with the marinade from the bag.
• Prepare the baste: Place the butter and salt in a small saucepan to melt on the cooler side of the grill (or use the stovetop). Once butter is melted, add the lime juice and chopped herbs; keep warm but do not boil.
• Grilling in batches if necessary, place the chicken on the grill a few inches apart. When you see a good char forming underneath, about 3 to 5 minutes, gently tug a skewer or the chicken: If it feels very stuck, leave it a few more minutes before turning. When the chicken releases easily and looks nicely charred in places, flip it using a fish spatula to gently pry any stuck bits off the grate.
• Baste the chicken with the herb butter and arrange the scallions in a single layer on the cooler edges of the grill. Let the chicken cook on the second side until firm and cooked through and turn the scallions occasionally until grill-marked and tender, about 8 minutes.
• Grill the pitas until marked, about 1 minute, turning halfway through. Lay them on the serving platter and place the scallions and chicken on top. Drizzle the bread, scallions and chicken with any remaining warm herb butter. Dollop chicken with reserved marinade, squeeze with lime and top with extra tarragon or mint.

GINGER-LEMONGRASS CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH SPICY PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the pale yellow bottom portion off the lemongrass stalk and discard the green top. Trim about 3/4 inch from the root end, then peel off and discard the tough outer layers. You should end up with a stick of only the more tender inner layers, about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches long. Finely mince the lemongrass, along with the ginger and garlic; the pieces should be no bigger than 1/16 inch. (You can do most of this in a food processor and finish with a little hand chopping.) Put the mixture in a medium bowl and stir in the scallions, the oil, 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, 2 teaspoons of the fish sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of the honey.
• Slice the chicken into 1/3-inch-thick strips about 1 inch wide-slice across the grain and at an angle on breasts, and with the grain on thighs. You should have about 30 strips. Add to the bowl with the lemongrass mixture, stir to coat the chicken evenly, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
• To make the dipping sauce, put the peanut butter in a small bowl. Stir in enough warm water to make a thick sauce (about 1/4 cup, depending on the peanut butter), then add the vinegar, chile garlic sauce, and the remaining 2 teaspoons fish sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon honey. Taste and adjust the saltiness, heat, or acidity to your liking; thin with more water if necessary.
• Prepare a medium-hot gas or charcoal grill or heat a large grill pan. Meanwhile, thread the chicken onto the skewers. Grill the chicken, flipping once, until just cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes per side. (Alternatively, you can cook the skewers under a broiler-about 8 minutes total-but they won't brown as well.)
• Serve with the dipping sauce.

GRIDDLE-FRIED CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH MANGO-GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the mango chutney. Then, in a small food processor or a blender, process together the ginger, chile peppers, cilantro, lime juice, coriander, garam masala, salt, and black pepper.2. Place the chicken in a large non-reactive bowl, add the marinade and mix well, making sure all the pieces are well-coated. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and marinate in the refrigerator up to 24 hours.3. Thread on skewers by pushing the skewer through the length of the tenderloin. Put 1 or 2 tenders per skewer. Using 1/4 cup of the mango chutney, brush it on each skewered piece of chicken.4. Heat a large cast-iron tava or a nonstick griddle or skillet over medium-high heat and coat lightly with the oil. Place the chicken skewers on the griddle and cook, turning them over once or twice, until they are golden on both sides, about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter lined with shredded lettuce, drizzle some of the mango chutney on top, and serve the remaining chutney on the side.From "1,000 Indian Recipes." Copyright 2002 by Neelam Batra.
