Chicken Skewers

Garnish

Method

Chicken Skewers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, vegetable oil, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces and add them to the marinade. Make sure all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours for more flavor).

  3. 3

    Prepare Skewers

    Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Peanut Sauce

  1. 5

    Mix Sauce Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, chili paste, and water until smooth and creamy.

  2. 6

    Adjust Consistency

    If the sauce is too thick, add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.

Garnish and Serve

  1. 7

    Garnish the Skewers

    Once grilled, remove the chicken skewers from the grill and top with chopped cilantro and chopped peanuts.

  2. 8

    Serve with Peanut Sauce

    Serve the chicken satay warm with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
