Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create the delicious Thai Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine curry powder, turmeric powder, soy sauce, vegetable oil, lime juice, garlic, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into thin strips and add them to the marinade. Toss to coat evenly and cover. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors develop.
3. Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
4. Make the Peanut Sauce: In a saucepan, combine the creamy peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and red pepper flakes over medium heat. Stir until smooth and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
5. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat while you’re preparing the skewers.
6. Skewer the Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
7. Grill the Chicken: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
8. Serve the Skewers: Once grilled, remove the chicken skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
9. Garnish: Drizzle the peanut sauce over the skewers or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro for added flavor and presentation.
These straightforward steps will guide you in creating an incredible culinary delight that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
