2. Make the Spice Paste:

   • Blend the garlic, shallots, coriander seeds, and salt into a fine paste using a food processor or mortar and pestle.

3. Marinate the Chicken:

   • In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with the spice paste. Add the kaffir lime leaf, bay leaf, ginger, and galangal. Mix well to coat the chicken evenly.
   • Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 15-30 minutes. For a richer flavor, marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

4. Skewer the Chicken:

   • Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, spacing them out evenly.

5. Grill the Chicken:

   • Preheat your “magic pan” or grill pan over medium heat.
   • Place the skewers in the pan and grill until the chicken is halfway cooked, about 5-7 minutes on each side.

6. Apply the Glaze:

   • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the sweet soy sauce and brown sugar until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
   • Brush the glaze generously over the partially cooked chicken.

7. Finish Grilling:

   • Continue to grill the chicken until it is fully cooked and has a golden-brown color, about an additional 5-7 minutes per side.

8. Serve:
