You won’t need to frequent your favorite Thai restaurant for satay anymore. This recipe is fantastic. Serve with white rice and veggies for a main meal or alone as an appetizer. Thanks to my brother Rob for this one. Another perfect Friday Night Food. You have 24 hours to get what you need to make this succulent meal. Grab your canvas bag and run!
Chicken Satay
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced in long thin strips
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 T. Asian chili sauce or more to taste (I use Sriracha)
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 green onions, white & green parts, sliced thin
1 recipe Satay Sauce
Combine the soy sauce, oil, chili sauce, brown sugar, cilantro, garlic, and green onions in a large bowl. Add long strips of the chicken and toss well. Marinate in the refrigerator for one hour. Thread each strip on to a 6 inch wooden skewer. Heat a greased cooktop grill to med-high heat and cook chicken for about 2-3 minutes on each side. You may grill these the same way on an outdoor grill. Serve with Satay Sauce. Serves 6.
Satay Sauce
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup water, hot
1 T. soy sauce
2 T. lime juice, about 1 lime
2 T. Asian chili sauce or Sriracha
1 T. brown sugar
1/2-1 t. curry powder
1 clove garlic , minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 1 teaspoon)
1 T. chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 green onions, white and green parts, sliced thin
Whisk the peanut butter and hot water together in a medium bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients. Transfer to a small serving bowl, and put aside to use for dipping the finished chicken. Or you may purchase a Thai peanut dipping sauce from the Asian section of you favorite grocer. I sometimes use “Lee Brand” from an Asian grocer.

That looks so good. I love how you arranged the food. Looks like something I would order in a nice restaurant.
I love making chicken satay for company, in fact I’m thinking about getting one of these:

That looks so good and so easy! I’m going to try it this weekend.
chili sauce, brown sugar, cilantro, and peanut butter are some of my favorite ingredients, but i can’t say that i’ve ever had them all at once. methinks i’d like it.
meanwhile, i love that your name is robin and your bro is rob. that’s fun.
dobetter- It makes me feel human to make things look good. It makes the mundane somehow better.
that girl- Oh one of those looks real cool. Also a big marshmallow on each stick and chocolate dip on the left and hmm…what on the right?
kate- give it a go and let me know!!
grace- and my parents are Ro and Ron. Snort!
That looks fantastic. I was thinking of doing shish-kabob but now I think I’ll do this instead.
I’ve never made chicken satay before, but my kids love it, so think I’ll try this recipe soon.
beth- Thanks and enjoy!
