Sahara Peanut Satay Chicken Skewers
These Sahara Peanut Satay Chicken skewers are an explosion of flavour in every single bite, created by just one sauce that doubles as dipping sauce. Oh so easy to make and perfect for your grill. You’ve GOT to try this one!!
What You Need
- 1/2 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup light Coconut Milk, stirred
- 2 limes, juiced and zested
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon, OR to taste, crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken tenders
What To Do
- In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, lime zest, garlic, minced ginger, cumin, curry powder, crushed red pepper flakes and whisk together.
- Remove half of the marinade and reserve.
- Add the chicken tenders and marinade to a large bowl and completely coat the chicken.
- Cover and set in the fridge for 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours to marinate.
- Preheat the BBQ on high for about 10 minutes.
- Thread the chicken tenders onto your Sahara skewers.
- When you are ready to use the BBQ, lower the grills you are cooking on to a medium heat.
- Brush grill grates with oil and place chicken skewers on the grill.
- Cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until chicken is charred and cooked through. Always double check that your meat is fully cooked before serving. I use our digital thermometer to be on the safe side.
- Use the reserved marinade as a dipping sauce when served!
Kebabs are one of my favourite grilling options. I make these grilled chicken kebabs constantly during the summer months, they’re a perfect combination of tender marinated chicken with a variety of veggies.
If you like, you can use thigh meat if preferred but chicken breasts work really well when marinated this way because they are tenderised with the coconut milk. This means the chicken breasts can take that burst of high-cooking-heat much better than if they weren’t marinated so it won’t dry out.
A little TIP!! If you’re using wooden skewers for your grilled chicken satay, soak the wooden skewers in water for an hour beforehand, so they’re less likely to burn on the grill. I use our Sahara Stainless Steel Skewers so I don’t have to worry about this happening.
Kebabs are a great way to get kids cooking as they are fun to make together – get them involved in building their own and they’ll go down a storm. Mix them up with veg or pineapple (delish) it’s an easy way to get the good stuff into them.
Don’t forget to mix up the sides and toppings and get stuck in with family and friends.
