Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1000 g boneless, skinless chicken thigh fillets; 2 tbsp soy sauce; 1 tbsp brown sugar; 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice; 1 tbsp vegetable oil; 1 tsp ground turmeric; 1 tsp ground cumin; 0.5 tsp ground coriander; 0.5 tsp white pepper; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger; 24 pieces wooden skewers (soaked beforehand); 200 g creamy peanut butter; 200 ml full-fat coconut milk; 2 tbsp soy sauce (for the sauce); 1 tbsp brown sugar (for the sauce); 1 tbsp freshly squeezed lime juice (for the sauce); 1 clove garlic, minced (for the sauce); 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (for the sauce); 0.5 tsp chili flakes (optional); 100 ml water (or more, to adjust consistency); null to taste crushed roasted peanuts (for garnish); null to taste fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

Prepare Chicken

Cut the chicken thigh fillets into thin strips, about 1 cm thick. In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, vegetable oil, turmeric, cumin, coriander, white pepper, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Add the chicken, mix thoroughly, then cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2-4 hours.

Make Peanut Sauce

While the chicken marinates, prepare the peanut sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chili flakes (if using). Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. If too thick, add a little water until you reach the desired creamy consistency. Remove from heat and set aside.

Grill Satay

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the pre-soaked wooden skewers, about 3-4 strips per skewer. Grill the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook to keep the chicken juicy.

Serve

Serve the freshly grilled chicken satay with the warm peanut sauce. Garnish with crushed peanuts and fresh cilantro. Rice or cucumber salad makes an excellent side dish.
