🥜 Thai Satay Chicken Skewers Recipe – With Creamy Peanut Sauce

Make authentic Thai Satay Chicken Skewers at home! Tender grilled chicken marinated in aromatic Thai spices and served with a rich, creamy peanut dipping sauce — a perfect appetizer or main dish.

🕒 Prep Time: 20 minutes

⏱️ Marination Time: 2 hours (recommended)

🔥 Cook Time: 10–12 minutes

🍽️ Servings: 4

📝 Ingredients

For the Chicken Marinade:

  • 1 lb (450 g) chicken breast or thigh, cut into strips
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

For the Peanut Sauce:

  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 1 tbsp lime juice
  • 1 tsp fish sauce (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade
    In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, curry powder, turmeric, garlic, brown sugar, coconut milk, and oil.

  2. Marinate the Chicken
    Add chicken strips to the marinade, mix well, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (or overnight for deeper flavor).

  3. Prepare the Peanut Sauce
    In a saucepan, combine peanut butter, curry paste, soy sauce, coconut milk, lime juice, and brown sugar. Stir over low heat until smooth and creamy. Adjust thickness with a little water if needed.

  4. Thread the Skewers
    Thread marinated chicken onto skewers (soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning).

  5. Grill the Chicken
    Grill on medium-high heat for 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. You can also use an oven broiler or grill pan.

  6. Serve
    Serve hot with warm peanut sauce and a side of cucumber salad.

💡 Tips

  • Coconut milk makes the chicken extra tender.
  • You can use tofu or shrimp as alternatives.
  • Add a pinch of chili flakes for extra heat.
  • For best results, don’t overcook — the chicken should remain juicy.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve as a party appetizer with mini skewers.
  • Add a side of steamed jasmine rice or fresh vegetable salad.
  • Garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro for presentation.

❄️ Storage Tips

  • Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Peanut sauce can be refrigerated for 5 days — reheat gently before serving.
  • Freeze marinated raw chicken for up to 2 months.

❓ FAQs

Q1. Can I bake instead of grill the chicken?
Yes! Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway for even cooking.

Q2. Is Thai Satay spicy?
Traditionally, it’s mildly spiced, but you can adjust chili or curry paste levels to your liking.

Q3. What’s the best peanut butter to use?
Smooth, unsweetened peanut butter gives the most authentic texture and flavor.

Q4. Can I use almond butter instead?
Yes, almond butter or even cashew butter works as a substitute.

Q5. What do you serve with satay chicken?
Sticky rice, cucumber salad, or Thai fried rice make great sides.
