Delicious succulent 5-ingredient chicken satay that melts in your mouth recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Chicken Thighs, boneless, skinless: 1.5 lbs, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Peanut Butter (smooth): 1/2 cup
  • Soy Sauce (low sodium): 1/4 cup
  • Honey: 2 tablespoons
  • Lime Juice: 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic, minced: 2 cloves
  • Ginger, grated: 1 teaspoon
  • Wooden Skewers: 12-15

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Add the cubed chicken to the peanut butter mixture and stir to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  3. Step 3: While the chicken marinates, soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning.
  4. Step 4: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers.
  5. Step 5: Grill the chicken satay skewers for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred. Ensure internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  6. Step 6: Serve the chicken satay immediately. Garnish with chopped peanuts and a squeeze of lime, if desired.

Notes

  • Store leftover cooked satay in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, gently reheat the satay in a pan over medium-low heat with a splash of water to keep it moist.
  • Serve these delightful skewers with a side of jasmine rice and a refreshing cucumber salad for a complete meal.
  • Chef's tip: Don't skip soaking the skewers—it really prevents them from catching fire on the grill!
