Chicken satay is always satisfying, especially with this tasty Thai-style peanut sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds of chicken, cut into bite-size chunks
• 3-4 Thai peppers, or other spicy red peppers
• 1 chopped shallot
• 2 stalks of lemongrass, or lemongrass paste; you may also use a teaspoon of lemon zest and a teaspoon of minced ginger
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons fish sauce or Worcestershire sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sriracha
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
• Red pepper flakes or spicy chili flakes
• Bamboo or other wood skewers (available at most grocery stores)
• Thai Peanut Sauce
  • (Peanut butter, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sriracha, sesame oil, honey, lime juice, cayenne pepper, minced garlic, minced ginger, water)

Process

1. Mix all of the ingredients except the chicken in a large mixing bowl with a whisk.
2. Add the chicken to the bowl. Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
3. Place the wood skewers in a baking dish and cover them with water. This prevents them from charring or igniting on the grill.
4. Make the Thai Peanut Sauce and set aside.
5. After the chicken has marinated for an hour, place several pieces of chicken on each skewer.
6. Heat a grill to medium heat. Place the chicken on the grill and cook 4-5 minutes per side.
7. Serve with the peanut sauce, and enjoy! You may serve these skewers along with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
