Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch strips
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
12 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons coconut milk
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, ground turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, and ground black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, preferably 1 hour for best flavor.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked wooden skewers, distributing evenly.
Grill the chicken skewers for 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and slightly charred around the edges.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the peanut sauce by whisking together peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, grated fresh ginger, and chili flakes in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
Remove the chicken skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the chicken satay skewers warm with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
