🍢 Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce Recipe
For the chicken & marinade:
- 1.5 lbs boneless chicken thighs or breast, cut into strips
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp curry powder
- 1 tsp turmeric (color + flavor!)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp lemongrass paste (optional but 🔥)
- 1 tbsp oil
- Juice of 1 lime
For the peanut sauce:
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- ½ tsp grated ginger
- ½ tsp chili flakes or sriracha (adjust to taste)
- Juice of ½ lime
- ⅓–½ cup warm water or coconut milk (for desired thickness)
🔥 Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken: Mix all marinade ingredients, coat chicken strips, and let marinate for at least 30 mins (or overnight = flavor explosion).
- Skewer It Up: Thread chicken onto soaked wooden skewers.
- Grill or Pan-Cook: Cook on grill or grill pan over medium-high heat, 3–4 mins per side until charred and cooked through.
- Make the Peanut Sauce: Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl, whisk until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness with water or coconut milk.
- Serve with Sauce on the Side or Drizzled On: Don’t forget cucumber salad or jasmine rice if you’re going full meal mode 💯
🥜 Pro Tips:
