How To Make Thai Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce Recipe:

1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients except for the chicken: soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, honey, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Add the chicken, toss to coat evenly, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate to marinate for 2 hours or overnight. Allow the chicken to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling.

2

Meanwhile, prepare the peanut sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine chicken broth, peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, fish sauce, Sriracha, ginger, and garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often until the sauce is smooth and thickened, about 6 minutes. Stir in lime juice and set aside.

3

When ready to cook, preheat an outdoor grill or indoor grill pan to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.

4

Grill the chicken until fully cooked, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Allow it to rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and cilantro. Serve warm with the prepared peanut sauce and lime wedges.

Recipe Notes:

Marinating Time: Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight to enhance flavor.

Grilling: Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium-high heat before cooking the skewers.

Peanut Sauce Consistency: Adjust the thickness of the peanut sauce by adding more chicken broth for a thinner consistency or simmering longer for a thicker sauce.

Serving Suggestion: Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges for added freshness.

Storage: Store any leftover peanut sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
