Chicken Satay

These grilled chicken skewers are marinated in a perfectly balanced mix of soy, sugar, and spice, then paired with a rich, sweet peanut sauce flecked with fiery Thai chile. Juicy chicken thighs and a bright squeeze of lime make every bite burst with bold, harmonious flavor. Best enjoyed with an ice-cold Coca-Cola to cool the heat and complete the moment.

Preparation

  1. Make the chicken: Stir together the brown sugar, soy sauce, coriander, turmeric, and white pepper in a medium bowl. Place the chicken in the marinade, and stir well to evenly coat. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 4 hours or up to 8 hours.
  2. Soak 6 bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes.
  3. Skewer the chicken evenly among the 6 skewers. Set aside.
  4. Make the peanut sauce: Place the peanut butter, brown sugar, fish sauce, garlic, lime juice, and Thai chile in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. Thin to your desired consistency with hot water. Set aside until needed.
  5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F). Brush the grill with oil. Add the skewers, and cook, uncovered, until the chicken is golden and cooked through (registers 165°F on a thermometer), about 12 minutes, turning skewers every 3–4 minutes.
  6. Serve the skewers with lime wedges and the peanut sauce on the side, as well as the papaya salad.
  7. Enjoy!
