• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 piece lime, juice only
• 10 pieces wooden skewers, soaked in water
• 1 cup peanut butter, smooth
• 0.75 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce (for sauce)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar (for sauce)
• 1 piece lime, juice only (for sauce)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken thighs into thin, bite-sized strips and set aside.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, ground turmeric, ground coriander, vegetable oil, and lime juice to create the marinade.

Step 3

Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight for better flavor.

Step 4

While the chicken marinates, prepare the peanut sauce by combining peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, and lime juice in a small saucepan.

Step 5

Heat the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly, until smooth. Add water to achieve your desired sauce consistency, then set aside.

Step 6

Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked wooden skewers, dividing them evenly.

Step 8

Grill the chicken skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

Step 9
