Chicken satay with peanut sauce is a beloved dish featuring tender, marinated chicken grilled on skewers and served with a rich, creamy peanut sauce. The savory, slightly sweet marinade infuses the chicken with flavor, while the peanut sauce adds a nutty, tangy kick. This dish tastes fantastic thanks to its balance of spices, smokiness, and creamy dip. Serve chicken satay with jasmine rice, cucumber salad, or vegetable stir-fry for a complete meal. It’s perfect as an appetizer, party platter, or main course, and is best enjoyed hot off the grill, letting everyone dip and savor each bite.

Ingredients

For the Chicken Satay

• 1½ lbs (680g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons coconut milk (or regular milk)
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander (optional)
• ½ teaspoon salt
• Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 min)

For the Peanut Sauce

• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili sauce (optional)
• ½ cup coconut milk (or water)
• 1 garlic clove, minced

Directions

1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice chicken into thin strips. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, curry powder, oil, garlic, coriander, and salt. Add chicken, toss to coat, and marinate at least 30 minutes (up to overnight).
2. Make the Peanut Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, sriracha, coconut milk, and garlic. Heat gently, stirring until smooth and creamy. If too thick, add more coconut milk or water.
3. Skewer & Grill: Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers. Grill or broil over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through.
4. Serve: Arrange skewers on a platter. Serve with warm peanut sauce for dipping.
