These Thai Satay Chicken skewers are loaded with so much flavour and couldn’t be easier to make!<\/strong><\/p>\n Back at it again with another authentic Thai recipe by my Thai stepmother, On. Like all the other Thai recipes I’ve uploaded, this is simple to make and only uses store-bought ingredients. Follow me…<\/p>\n I have so many fond memories of eating satay chicken skewers in Thailand, but I also have so many of growing up eating them at home too. The ingredient list is actually pretty small for this chicken itself – here’s what you’ll need:<\/p>\n I highly recommend using boneless skinless chicken thigh over breast. It’s fattier and more flavoursome and is much less prone to drying out.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Once you’ve combined the chicken and marinade, you only need to let it marinate for 1 hour<\/strong>. From there, you can go ahead and thread the chicken onto skewers.<\/p>\n I like to use a griddle pan<\/strong>, just to get those nice char lines, but realistically, you can use any pan. Just use one that’s fairly non-stick (the chicken might stick a little). One thing On likes to do is to brush the cooked side of the skewers with coconut milk<\/strong> as they fry, just so they stay nice and juicy.<\/p>\n It’s always a good idea to wear gloves when handeling the chicken, just because turmeric is a very powerful dye and can temporarily stain your nails.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Process shots: add the marinade and chicken to a bowl (photo 1), mix then marinate (photo 2), thread onto skewers (photo 3), add to pan (photo 4), fry then turn and baste (photo 5), turn then baste again (photo 6).<\/em><\/p>\n The chicken is delicious by itself, but the sauce is what really takes things through the roof. Here’s what you’ll need:<\/p>\n When it comes to making the sauce, it’s pretty quick, so you can make it right after the skewers are done, or even while they’re cooking. Just a few tips to help along the way:<\/p>\n Process shots: heat oil (photo 1), add paste (photo 2), fry (photo 3), add milk, tamarind and sugar (photo 4), simmer then add peanuts (photo 5), stir to combine (photo 6).<\/em><\/p>\n Once the sauce has thickened, just pour it into a serving dish and get dunking! These are perfect for an appetiser\/starter or even for lunch!<\/p>\n Traditionally, you’d serve with slices of toast and a Thai-style dip (the same one I use in the Thai Pork Toast<\/a>). But just skewers + sauce is absolutely fine.<\/p>\n Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full recipe for these Thai satay chicken skewers shall we?!<\/strong><\/p>\n
