Method
 

Chicken Satay
  1. In a bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and coconut milk.
  2. Add the chicken strips to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or longer for more flavor.
  3. Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked wooden skewers.
  4. Grill or broil the satay for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
Peanut Sauce
  1. In a saucepan, whisk together peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, and red curry paste.
  2. Heat the sauce over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
  3. If the sauce is too thick, add a little water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches the desired smoothness and consistency.

Notes

For extra tenderness, marinate the chicken overnight. Serve with extra lime wedges and fresh cilantro as garnish.
