Peanut Sauce
Method
Chicken Skewers
Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, combine soy sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, lime juice, and salt. Mix well until sugar is dissolved.
Marinate the Chicken
Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes and add to the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
Prepare the Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Skewer the Chicken
Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
Peanut Sauce
Mix the Sauce Ingredients
In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, chili flakes, and water. Whisk until smooth.
Adjust Consistency
If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Serve the Sauce
Transfer the peanut sauce to a serving bowl and set aside for dipping.
