3/4 cup (185ml) water
SERVING:
2 tbsp peanuts finely chopped
Lime wedges (optional)
Coriander / cilantro leaves and sliced red chilli (optional)

Instructions
If cooking on a BBQ or over charcoal, soak skewers for 2 hours in water.
THAI CHICKEN SATAY SKEWERS:
Mix collectively the fowl and Marinade with 1/4 cup of coconut milk, then set apart for no less than 20 minutes, or overnight.
Thread onto skewers - I do four to 5 items each.
Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a enormous non stick pan over medium excessive heat.
Cook skewers in batches for three minutes on each one edge till golden.
THAI PEANUT SAUCE:
Place final coconut milk and Peanut Sauce meals in a saucepan over medium low heat.
Stir to mix then simmer, stirring each one now and then, for 5 minutes.
Adjust consistency with water - it ought to be a pourable but thickish sauce.
Cover with lid and hold warm whereas cooking skewers.
SERVING:
Pour a few sauce appropriate into a bowl. Sprinkle with a few peanuts - stir a few by way of for those who want.
Pile satay skewers onto a platter, sprinkle with final peanuts, coriander and chilli.
Serve with sauce at the edge for dipping.

 Recipe Notes:
1. Skewers used for Asian fowl satay have a tendency to be shorter than Western skewers. I like them simply due to the fact they slot in skillets! Feel loose to make big ones with longer skewers.
2. Chicken - could be substituted with breast or tenderloin but thigh is greatest for juiciest chicken. Can also sub with pork or pork - use a good, properly marbled cut appropriate for fast cooking.
3. Curry powder - any is superb here. I use Clives or Keens.
4. Red curry paste - The greatest Thai red curry paste (in my opinion) is Maesri which is feasible in small cans and in addition occurs to be the cheapest. Sold at enormous supermarkets (Coles, Woolies, Harris), Asian stores. But any model will do simply due to the fact it is an enhancer highly than key flavouring.
If utilizing do-it-yourself Thai red curry paste, double the curry paste, upload 1 tsp fish sauce + 1 tsp sugar into fowl marinade, and 2 tsp fish sauce + 2 tsp sugar into Peanut Sauce (homemade would no longer have the seasonings jar paste does).
5. Natural peanut butter is 100 pc peanuts and has a more robust peanut flavour than commercial peanut butter which has sugar and different additives. It can also be thinner so a stable deal less water is needed to gain the proper consistency. Pretty extensively reachable these days within the well being meals part of supermarkets.
Can use regular peanut butter unfold however the peanut flavour isn't as nice and sauce shall be thicker. Do no longer be tempted to dilute with too a lot water - it'll dilute the flavour.
Sub: 1 cup uncooked unsalted peanuts blitzed till comfortable with 1/2 cup or so coconut milk referred to as for within the peanut sauce (helps make it tremendous smooth).
6. Dark soy sauce provides seasoning and deepens shade of sauce. Can sub with faded or all objective soy sauce but sauce shade shall be lighter.
7. Cider vinegar could be subbed with plain white vinegar. Lime juice, rice vinegar or different clean vinegars are an ok exchange but no longer 100 pc authentic.
8. Peanut Sauce - makes additional than you'll need, possible purely use 1/3.  Hard to make less, also this recipe makes use of a entire can of coconut milk. Lasts 1 week within the fridge - or freeze.
Use leftover for:
Sauce for for rice, noodles, veggies (raw or steamed)
Make a easy Gado Gado with steam veg, tough boiled eggs and rice
Dip for prawn crackers and vegetables
As the dressing for this Chinese Chicken Salad, Satay Noodle Salad, Peanut Noodle Salad or Sesame Noodles
9. Nutrition is VERY overstated. It assumes all of the peanut sauce is ate up but purely realistically, purely 1/3 or so is likely.
