Method
For the Chicken Satay
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide. This will help them cook evenly and absorb the marinade better.
- 2
Make the Marinade
In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, peanut butter, honey, ground cumin, garlic powder, grated ginger, lime juice, coconut milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until smooth.
- 3
Marinate the Chicken
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
- 4
Prepare the Skewers
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. This is especially important if you are grilling the chicken.
- 5
Skewer the Chicken
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
- 6
Cook the Chicken
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
For the Peanut Sauce
- 7
Combine Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and coconut milk until smooth and creamy.
- 8
Adjust Seasoning
Taste the sauce and add red pepper flakes to your desired level of spiciness. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more coconut milk to reach your preferred consistency.
- 9
Serve
Serve the grilled chicken satay skewers with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
