Ingredients
Chicken Satay
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (use gluten-free for gluten-free version)
- 1 tablespoon coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Wooden skewers
Peanut Sauce
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ¼ cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon sriracha
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
Instructions
- Marinate Chicken: In a bowl, combine soy sauce, coconut milk, curry powder, brown sugar, and minced garlic. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Prepare Skewers: Thread the marinated chicken strips onto wooden skewers, distributing the meat evenly to ensure even cooking.
- Grill Chicken Satay: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
- Make Peanut Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together creamy peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, sriracha, and grated ginger until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Assemble Shotglass Satay: Pour the prepared peanut sauce into individual shot glasses. Place one grilled chicken satay skewer into each shot glass, standing upright in the sauce. Serve immediately as an elegant party appetizer.
