Instructions
Making Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce is a fun and rewarding process. Follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, mix together soy sauce, brown sugar, vegetable oil, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate Chicken: Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
3. Make Peanut Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, lime juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Gradually add warm water until reaching your desired consistency.
4. Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
5. Skewer Chicken: Thread marinated chicken strips onto soaked skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
6. Grill Chicken: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
7. Serve with Sauce: Remove from the grill and serve the satay hot with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
