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.
