Description
The Chicken Satay with Easy Thai Peanut Sauce is not just another dish; it’s an experience of exotic flavors that tantalize your taste buds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 500g boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
- 200ml coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon turmeric
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or fish sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon red curry paste
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
- ⅓ cup water
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric, soy (or fish) sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well blended, ensuring the flavors meld perfectly.
- Slicing the chicken into thin, even strips ensures a consistent cook. Place these strips into a bowl or a zip-top bag, and pour the marinade over, tossing to coat thoroughly.
- While waiting for the chicken to marinate, soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes.
- Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the skewers, keep them flat and even to allow for uniform cooking. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
- As the chicken sizzles on the grill, start preparing the savory peanut sauce.
- Arrange the grilled chicken skewers on a platter, serving them with the warm peanut sauce for dipping.
Notes
Feel free to substitute ingredients like soy sauce with fish sauce for an extra hit of umami flavor.
