Time 40m

Yield Ten to fifteen skewers (2 to 4 servings)

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
1 tablespoon (16 g) red curry paste, plus more if desired
2 cups (490 ml) coconut milk
2 tablespoons (30 g) chunky peanut butter, plus more if desired
2 tablespoons (30 ml) fish sauce
2 tablespoons (30 g) sugar, plus more if desired
1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar
1/4 cup (60 ml) coconut milk
1 tablespoon (15 g) curry powder
1 tablespoon (15 g) kosher salt
1 tablespoon (15 g) sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons (8 g) freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder, plus more if desired
2 pounds (900 g) boneless, skinless chicken breast
Ten to fifteen 6-inch bamboo skewers, soaked in water for at least 20 minutes and up to overnight
Vegetable oil or nonstick cooking spray, for greasing

Steps:

  • Make the Peanut Sauce: Heat the oil in a small saucepan over high heat until hot. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring, until very fragrant and thick, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the coconut milk; bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil over. Add the peanut butter and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken and come together, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the fish sauce, sugar and rice vinegar. Cook, stirring, until the ingredients are incorporated, about 1 minute more; remove from the heat. An oily film will rise to top; skim it off, if you wish. Keep the sauce warm while you make the chicken satay. (See Cook's Note.)
  • Make the Chicken Satay: Place the coconut milk, curry powder, salt, sugar, pepper and garlic powder in a medium bowl; whisk to combine the marinade.
  • Slice the chicken against the grain into 2-inch square tiles about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to the marinade and massage to coat the chicken evenly. You can cover and marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor and tenderness or cook it immediately.
  • Thread the chicken onto the bamboo skewers, stopping 2 inches from the bottom of each skewer.
  • Heat a grill or grill pan to high and preheat for at least 5 minutes. Rub a little oil on the grill grates or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Working in batches if necessary, grill the chicken on one side until you get nice char marks, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the chicken is just cooked through, another 3 to 5 minutes. Serve the chicken satay with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.

CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE



Chicken Skewers With Peanut Sauce image

That peanut butter is relegated to the sandwich while sesame butter (tahini) is seen as an exotic food item is one of the wonderfully preposterous anomalies of American cooking. In the rest of the world, especially Asia, peanuts are special, used not only as a garnish but as a main ingredient in sauces. One such sauce incorporates coconut milk and classic Thai seasonings: curry paste or powder, nam pla, lime and cilantro. The coconut milk and peanuts make the mixture too powerful-tasting for most fish and too heavy for most meat. It is perfect, however, when teamed with chicken on the grill, especially boneless thighs.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup natural peanut butter, preferably chunky
1 tablespoon curry paste or curry powder, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup fresh or canned coconut milk, approximately
1 tablespoon nam pla or soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless chicken thighs, cut into large chunks
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Start charcoal or gas grill or heat broiler; fire should be moderately hot, and rack should be at least 4 inches from heat. If using wood skewers, soak them in water.
  • Put peanut butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; add curry paste or powder, salt and enough coconut milk to achieve a creamy but quite thick consistency. Cook over low heat, whisking, until smooth; do not boil. Cool a bit, then stir in nam pla and lime juice.
  • Marinate chicken in this mixture for 5 minutes to an hour. Skewer chicken chunks, then grill or broil slowly, until nicely browned and cooked through, 10 minutes or longer. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro and accompanied by lime.

CHICKEN SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE (MARK BITTMAN)



Chicken Satay With Peanut Sauce (Mark Bittman) image

Another Mark Bittman recipe that I am posting for safekeeping. This one is also not specific in the amounts. I am guessing that the chicken is 1 pound. Prep and cooking times are also wild stabs. UPDATE 2-22-13: Today I tried making the sauce for the first time. I thought that the ingredients listed were fine, but the sauce seemed too bland. I doubled the lime juice and a couple of other seasonings, and added a little garlic powder, and I thought that made a significant improvement. It would be best for you to experiment and find the proportions of the ingredients that work best for you.
