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 coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 small garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, turmeric powder, and chili powder to create the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes, preferably 1 hour for best flavor.
While the chicken marinates, prepare the peanut dipping sauce by whisking together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, coconut milk, grated ginger, minced garlic, and chili flakes in a small bowl until smooth. Set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked wooden skewers, dividing evenly.
Grill the skewers for 4-5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let rest for 2 minutes.
Serve the chicken satay skewers warm with the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
