CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE



Chicken Skewers With Peanut Sauce image

That peanut butter is relegated to the sandwich while sesame butter (tahini) is seen as an exotic food item is one of the wonderfully preposterous anomalies of American cooking. In the rest of the world, especially Asia, peanuts are special, used not only as a garnish but as a main ingredient in sauces. One such sauce incorporates coconut milk and classic Thai seasonings: curry paste or powder, nam pla, lime and cilantro. The coconut milk and peanuts make the mixture too powerful-tasting for most fish and too heavy for most meat. It is perfect, however, when teamed with chicken on the grill, especially boneless thighs.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup natural peanut butter, preferably chunky
1 tablespoon curry paste or curry powder, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup fresh or canned coconut milk, approximately
1 tablespoon nam pla or soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs, cut into large chunks
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Start charcoal or gas grill or heat broiler; fire should be moderately hot, and rack should be at least 4 inches from heat. If using wood skewers, soak them in water.
