Method
 

Chicken Satay
  1. Combine chicken pieces with coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, garlic powder, ginger powder, and salt in a bowl, then marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  2. Thread the marinated chicken onto the pre-soaked wooden skewers.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, then lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  4. Grill the chicken skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Peanut Sauce
  1. Whisk together creamy peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce, and sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth.
  2. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more coconut milk or water until it reaches your desired consistency.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the chicken marinade. Serve the satay immediately with the warm peanut sauce and a sprinkle of chopped peanuts or fresh cilantro if desired.
