👩🍳 How to Make Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce:
Step 1: Preparing the chicken
- Cut the chicken breasts into small pieces (3-4 cm).
- In a large bowl, mix together soy sauce, coconut milk, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lemon juice.
- Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and mix well so all the chicken is coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes up to 2 hours to let the chicken soak up the flavors.
Step 2: Preparing the peanut sauce
- In a small pot, melt the peanut butter over medium heat.
- Add coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, red chili (optional), and lemon juice or white vinegar to the peanut butter.
- Stir everything well and let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes so the flavors blend together.
- If needed, add some warm water to the sauce to adjust the thickness.
- Once the sauce is ready, remove it from the heat and set it aside.
Step 3: Grilling the chicken
- Soak the wooden skewers in water to keep them from burning while grilling.
- Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the wooden skewers.
- Place the chicken skewers on a grill pan or barbecue and cook over medium heat. Grill each side for about 4–5 minutes until the chicken is golden and fully cooked.
Step 4: Serving
- Remove the grilled chicken from the skewers and place it on a serving plate.
- Pour the peanut sauce over the chicken or serve it on the side as a dip.
- You can serve your chicken satay with steamed rice or steamed veggies.
✅ Golden Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can add a bit of teriyaki sauce to the peanut sauce.
- If you like it spicy, feel free to add more red chili to the sauce.
- If you want, you can also use zucchini, bell peppers, or onions as side veggies.
- If you have time, marinate the chicken for more than 2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the chicken further.
