Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 500 g boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into thin strips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- Bamboo skewers soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
For the Marinade:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder optional, adjust to taste
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
For the Peanut Sauce:
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes optional, adjust to taste

For Garnish:

Instructions
Prepare the Marinade:
- In a bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients until well combined.
Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken strips in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag.
- Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it's evenly coated. Cover or seal the dish/bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to develop.
Make the Peanut Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine all the peanut sauce ingredients over low heat.
- Stir continuously until the peanut butter melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a little water to reach your desired consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.
Skewer the Chicken:
- Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked bamboo skewers, shaking off any excess marinade.
Grill the Chicken:
- Brush the grill grates with oil to prevent sticking.
- Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Transfer the cooked chicken satay to a serving platter.
Serve:
- Arrange the chicken satay on a platter and sprinkle with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro or parsley.
- Serve hot with the prepared peanut sauce on the side and lime wedges for squeezing.
