For the Chicken Satay

For the Peanut Sauce

Method

Preparing the Chicken Satay

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Add Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

  3. 3

    Prepare Skewers

    While the chicken is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

  4. 4

    Skewer the Chicken

    After marination, thread the chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers. Leave a little space between each piece.

Making the Peanut Sauce

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan over low heat, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, chili paste, minced garlic, and water.

  2. 6

    Cook Sauce

    Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and heated through. Adjust consistency with more water if necessary. Remove from heat and set aside.

Grilling the Satay

  1. 7

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  2. 8

    Grill the Skewers

    Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  3. 9

    Serve

    Remove skewers from the grill and serve hot with the peanut sauce on the side.
