  • 2 cloves Minced Garlic Opt for fresh cloves over jarred.
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice Freshly squeezed is best.
For the Peanut Sauce

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cutting 1 pound of boneless chicken into 1-inch wide strips. Set aside while you prepare the marinade.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, brown sugar, coconut milk, curry powder, minced garlic, and lime juice. Whisk until well blended, then add chicken strips. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 15 minutes. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  4. In a medium saucepan, mix together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and coconut milk. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Adjust consistency with warm water and add chili paste.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken strips onto soaked skewers, leaving space between each piece.
  6. Grill skewers for 4-5 minutes on each side until charred and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
  7. Let skewers rest for a few minutes, then serve with the creamy peanut sauce.

Notes

Marinating chicken for 2-4 hours enhances flavor. Monitor the grill closely to prevent overcooking. Customize with shrimp or tofu as alternatives.
