Instructions
Making Chicken Satay with Easy Thai Peanut Sauce is simple if you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, mix soy sauce, vegetable oil, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, brown sugar, turmeric, cumin, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and add them to the marinade. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water to prevent burning during grilling.
4. Make Peanut Sauce: In a separate bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, lime juice, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Add water gradually until you reach the desired consistency.
5. Preheat Grill or Grill Pan: Heat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
6. Skewer Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
7. Grill Chicken: Cook the skewers for about 7-10 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks. Baste with leftover marinade while grilling for extra flavor.
8. Serve: Once grilled, remove chicken from skewers and serve hot with the Easy Thai Peanut Sauce for dipping.
