I'm pretty sure that by posting this recipe, I won't be charged with sharing state secrets.  We obtained this recipe from Jerry's cousin, Armil.  Actually, I'm surprised he parted with this recipe with such ease.  This is a favorite in our household and something I will always associate with the Biag side of the family.  We serve the skewers with a green salad and rice.  This dish is simply called "meat on a stick"...because, well, it is.  However, it is so much more.  I promise.

"First thing...soak your sticks in water.  The sticks won't burn off as quickly when your grilling.
1 lb of  thinly sliced meat (I prefer pork since it soaks the marinate the best, but beef is great, too.  I've never tried it on chicken)
1/3 cup Thai sweet chili sauce (any brand), but Mae Ploy is the one I often use
2 tbs brown sugar
salt and pepper your preference
1/4 cup soy sauce 
1 lemon squeezed
sometimes I add chili flake and/or hot chili oil (depending on preference)
main ingredient:  7up or sprite, but 7up is preferred...i pour this last.  I use about half a can, but not all. The meat should not be drowning in the soda, but just enough for the meat to absorb a good amount.
Let the marinate sit overnight before you place the meat on the sticks or minimum 4 hours (i'm not really sure what the minimum time is, but I know the meat tastes better the longer they marinate).
Grill to your preference. 
FYI 1 lb of meat is never enough...get 3 lbs min if you're feeding people."
