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 curry powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
12 bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, turmeric, minced garlic, grated ginger, and vegetable oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked bamboo skewers, dividing evenly.
Grill the chicken skewers for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.
While the chicken is grilling, prepare the peanut dipping sauce by whisking together peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, and chili flakes in a small bowl until smooth.
Remove the chicken satay skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the skewers warm with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
