Method

step 1

Soak 20 wooden skewers in water. Take 15 lime leaves, pull off the stalks and finely chop. Leave the remaining ones whole. Combine the garlic, fish sauce, honey, spring onions and vegetable oil in the food processor.
Skewer the chicken with 1 whole lime leaf in between the cubes, put in a flat dish and pour over the marinade. Chill for at least 30 minutes or until ready to grill.
step 2

Make the chilli sauce by heating the rice vinegar and sugar. After it boils, turn the heat down and cook for about 3 minutes until thickened. Cool then add the remaining ingredients. Cook the chicken on a bbq, grill pan or frying pan until brown, about 2-3 minutes each side. Serve with the chilli dipping sauce.
