Method

Chicken Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces (about 1 inch each).

  2. 2

    Make the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine soy sauce, coconut milk, lime juice, ground coriander, ground cumin, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved.

  3. 3

    Marinate the Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

Peanut Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix the Sauce

    In a separate bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, water, and chili flakes. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary.

Cooking the Chicken

  1. 5

    Prepare Skewers

    Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning if grilling. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 6

    Thread the Chicken

    Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

  3. 7

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve

    Serve the grilled chicken satay with the peanut sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
