For the Peanut Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup (125g) creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) coconut milk

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, turmeric, coriander, cumin, ginger, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to make the marinade.
  2. Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
  3. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Thread marinated chicken strips onto soaked bamboo skewers.

  7. Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the grill and serve immediately with lime wedges, chopped cilantro, and the peanut dipping sauce on the side.
  8. Enjoy your delicious Thai Chicken Satay!
