Chicken Satay

Method

Chicken Satay Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best flavor.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Skewers

    Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. After marinating, thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers.

  4. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the chicken skewers for 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

Peanut Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Mix the Sauce Ingredients

    In a saucepan, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, water, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder. Whisk together over medium heat until smooth.

  2. 6

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until the sauce thickens slightly.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve the Dish

    Arrange the grilled chicken skewers on a serving platter and drizzle with peanut sauce. Serve warm with additional peanut sauce on the side.
