Tender chicken skewers marinated in all the spices with creamy coconut-peanut sauce for dipping. Marinating the chicken in yogurt both tenderizes and injects the meat with all the spices, so you get a juicy, flavorful piece of meat every time. Fold the chicken into lettuce wraps for an equally delicious variation.
And oh my, this peanut sauce. I’ve tried for years to make that perfect peanut sauce and I think this is finally it. It is so delicious that I usually eat a good amount with just a spoon after I make it. While most will see the chicken as the star, I see it as a convenient vehicle for delivering excessive amounts of peanut sauce to my mouth. I used to go to HuHot strictly to dump a bunch of peanut sauce on noodles or rice under the guise of dinner. This recipe makes more peanut sauce than you need for the chicken satay, so pour over rice or noodles to get the true Amanda experience.
Aside from the marinating time, this meal comes together quickly, especially if you make the sauce ahead of time. Grilling outside is highly encouraged both because it’s grilling season but also because indoor grilling can be smoke-filled, messy and hard. Make sure to let as much marinade as possible drip off before transferring to the grill or pan.
This will quickly become a staple at your house!
