THAI CHICKEN SATAY

Thai Chicken Satay image

The closest to my favorite satay served at my Thai restaurant. Prep is quick- best if left to marinade for a few hours or more. Skewer up for the grill or saute on the stove! I buy the chicken tenderloin strips which are already boned, skinned and a nice size piece without slicing to save time.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
To make the chicken satay skewers, cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces and thread them onto skewers. You can use wooden or metal skewers, but if you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using so they don't burn.
To make the peanut sauce, simply whisk together all of the ingredients in a bowl. You can adjust the consistency of the sauce by adding more or less coconut milk.
To cook the chicken satay skewers, you can grill them, bake them, or pan-fry them. If you're grilling them, preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the skewers for about 10 minutes, turning them occasionally. If you're baking them, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the skewers for about 15 minutes, turning them halfway through. If you're pan-frying them, heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the skewers for about 5 minutes per side, or until they're cooked through.
Serve the chicken satay skewers with the peanut sauce and enjoy!

Thai chicken satay is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're having a party or just want a quick and tasty meal, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you're looking for something new to try, give Thai chicken satay a try. You won't be disappointed!
