Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce
Description
This Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce recipe combines marinated boneless, skinless chicken thighs with flavors from red curry paste, curry powder, fish sauce, and lime juice. The skewered chicken is cooked in a preheated skillet or on a grill, allowing it to brown evenly while retaining juiciness inside.
The peanut sauce, made from creamy peanut butter mixed with hot water, lime juice, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sesame oil, adds a rich and tangy complement to the grilled chicken. The sauce’s texture and seasoning can be adjusted by adding more water or soy sauce.
Skewering the chicken pieces ensures even cooking and easy serving. The marinade can be prepared ahead of time, and the chicken should soak in it for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors. Bamboo skewers should be soaked in water beforehand to prevent burning during cooking.
Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken thigh 680g, cut into chunks, boneless, skinless
- 1/4 cup coconut milk (60 ml)
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons red curry paste
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
For the Peanut Sauce:
- 1/3 cup peanut butter creamy
- 2-3 tablespoons water to your desired consistency, hot
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon ginger (minced or grated)
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce (can substitute gluten-free soy sauce or tamari to make this gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Before you get started, if you’re using bamboo skewers, soak them in a bowl of water for at least an hour––this prevents them from burning during the cooking process!
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes with coconut milk, fish sauce, soy sauce, red curry paste, curry powder, sugar, and lime juice. You can also let it sit overnight if you want to do this in advance!
- While the chicken is marinating, prepare the sauce by combining the peanut butter, hot water, lime juice, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sesame oil. If you want it saltier, you can add more soy sauce or fish sauce.
- Skewer the chicken (4-7 pieces of chicken per skewer depending on the length).
- You can cook the skewers on the grill, but we cooked them in a skillet set over medium-high with 2 tablespoons of oil. Make sure to let your skillet preheat first, and when you add the chicken, turn down the heat to medium or medium-low if it’s browning too fast. Cook the chicken evenly for about 10-12 minutes, turning it until golden on all sides. Because the chicken is irregularly-sized on the skewers, take care to make sure it’s cooked through.
- Serve with the peanut sauce. Enjoy!
