Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 cloves Fresh garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon Ground coriander
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Chili garlic sauce
• 10 pieces Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into 1-inch cubes and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground turmeric, coriander, cumin, and lime juice to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 4

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning while cooking.

Step 5

Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for even cooking.

Step 6

Preheat a grill or broiler to medium-high heat. If grilling, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Grill or broil the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred on the edges. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

While the chicken is cooking, prepare the peanut sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together peanut butter, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, chili garlic sauce, and 2-3 tablespoons of water. Heat until smooth and warmed through. Adjust the consistency with additional water if needed.

Step 9

Serve the chicken satay hot, accompanied by the peanut sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
