For the Chicken Marinade

For the Peanut Sauce

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, mix together the coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the boneless skinless chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Making the Peanut Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and chili flakes.

  2. 4

    Adjust Consistency

    Gradually add water to the mixture until you reach your desired consistency. Set aside to allow the flavors to meld.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 5

    Prepare Skewers

    If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Skewer the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread the pieces onto the skewers.

  3. 7

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the skewered chicken on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Serving

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the grilled chicken satay with the peanut sauce drizzled on top or on the side for dipping.

  2. 9

    Add Fresh Ingredients

    Garnish with cucumber slices, julienned carrot, and chopped cilantro. Serve lime wedges on the side for additional flavor.
