Grilled Chicken Satay with Creamy Peanut Dipping Sauce

Grilled Chicken Satay with Creamy Peanut Dipping Sauce features juicy, curry-marinated chicken threaded on skewers and seared for a lightly charred finish. The peanut sauce is lush with coconut milk, gently sweet, and balanced by fish sauce and lime for a salty-tangy pop. Serve it as a crowd-pleasing appetizer or a light dinner alongside steamed rice or crisp veggies.

Grilled Chicken Satay with Creamy Peanut Dipping Sauce
  1. 1

    In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup coconut milk, 2 teaspoons curry powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon fish sauce, and granulated garlic. Add chicken pieces and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

  2. 2

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and shake off the excess. Discard the remaining marinade. Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken skewers in the hot oil until browned and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the remaining 3/4 cup coconut milk to a simmer. Stir in the remaining 3 teaspoons curry powder and simmer for 4 minutes. Add chicken broth, peanut butter, lime juice, the remaining 3 teaspoons sugar, and the remaining 3 teaspoons fish sauce; simmer for 1 minute. Serve the dipping sauce with the chicken skewers.
