Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Chicken breasts
- 200 milliliters Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 6 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chili garlic sauce
- 3 tablespoons Hot water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 8 Wooden skewers, soaked in water
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into thin, bite-sized strips, roughly 1 inch wide.
In a bowl, mix coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, turmeric powder, ground coriander, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and salt. This will be your marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and mix thoroughly to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
While the chicken is marinating, prepare the peanut sauce by combining peanut butter, hoisin sauce, chili garlic sauce, and hot water in a small pot. Heat gently on the stove, stirring until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked wooden skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for 3–4 minutes on each side or until they are fully cooked, with nice char marks.
Serve the grilled chicken satay warm with the peanut sauce on the side. Garnish with lime wedges or chopped peanuts, if desired.
