Ingredients:

Marinade & Chicken:

  • 1/4 cup (50 g) sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Garlic-Infused Oil, preferably made with peanut oil, or other vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons peeled & grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 pounds (910 g) skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut lengthwise into 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide strips
  • Bamboo skewers or thin metal skewers

Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) hot water
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter, preferably no-stir creamy style
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic-Infused Oil, preferably made with peanut oil, or other vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons peeled & grated fresh ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons dry-roasted peanuts, finely chopped

Preparation:

  1. For the Marinade: About 30 minutes to an hour before cooking time, whisk together the sugar, Garlic-Infused Oil, ginger, turmeric and salt in a large nonreactive bowl. Add the chicken and toss well to coat. Allow to marinate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. Meanwhile, Make the Sauce: Whisk together the hot water, and peanut butter until smooth in a nonreactive bowl. Whisk in vinegar, soy sauce, Garlic-Infused Oil, sugar, ginger and turmeric. Pour off about 1/2 cup (120 ml) and add the peanuts to that portion and set aside to use as a dipping sauce. Thread each piece of chicken onto a skewer, discarding the marinade.
  3. Prepare your wood or propane-fired grill to a medium heat, or preheat your broiler to high with a rack about 4-inches (10 cm) below. In this case line a sheet pan with aluminum foil (for easy clean up) and place a rack on top.
  4. Grill or broil the chicken satay, turning often and brushing with the reserved sauce (without the peanuts). Total cooking time will be about 7 or 8 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through, there should be some char marks here and there, but don’t overcook. Satay is ready serve with peanut dipping sauce.

Notes:

Tips

  • You can use skinless, boneless chicken breasts for this recipe, in the same amount, but the satay will cook a bit quicker and not be quite as juicy.
