Chicken Satay
Ingredients
1/4 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
2 1/2 teaspoons yellow curry powder
1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch chunks
(or tenderloins)
1 tablespoon canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Peanut Sauce
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
2 teaspoons brown sugar
2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce, or more, to taste
1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
Instructions
To make the peanut sauce, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce,
lime juice, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce and ginger in a small
bowl. Whisk in 2-3 tablespoons water until desired consistency is
reached; set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, curry powder,
turmeric, garlic, ginger, brown sugar and fish sauce.
In a gallon size Ziploc bag or large bowl, combine chicken and
coconut milk mixture; marinate for at least 2 hours to overnight,
turning the bag occasionally.
Drain the chicken from the marinade, discarding the marinade.
Preheat grill to medium high heat. Thread chicken onto skewers.
Brush with canola oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Add skewers to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the
chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal
temperature of 165 degrees F, about 12-15 minutes.
Serve immediately with peanut sauce.
