Gluten-Free Satay with Peanut Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken Thighs
• 1 tsp Turmeric Powder
• 1 tsp Cumin Powder
• 1 tsp Coriander Powder
• 1 stalk Lemongrass
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 inch Ginger
• 1/2 cup Coconut Milk
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (Gluten-Free)
• 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
• 1/2 cup Peanut Butter
• 1/2 cup Coconut Milk
• 1 tbsp Lime Juice
• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce (Gluten-Free)
• 1 tsp Honey
• 1/4 tsp Chili Flakes

Instructions

1. 1Prepare the marinade: In a medium bowl, combine the 1 tsp Turmeric Powder, 1 tsp Cumin Powder, and 1 tsp Coriander Powder. Finely mince the 3 cloves Garlic and grate the 1 inch Ginger. Bruise the 1 stalk Lemongrass by hitting it with the back of your knife, then finely chop it. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped lemongrass, 1/2 cup Coconut Milk, 2 tbsp Soy Sauce (Gluten-Free), and 1 tbsp Brown Sugar to the bowl with the spices. Mix everything together well.
2. 2Marinate the chicken: Cut the 1 lb Chicken Thighs into bite-sized pieces, about 1-inch cubes. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade in the bowl, ensuring each piece is coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
3. 3Assemble skewers: Thread the marinated chicken pieces evenly onto skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
4. 4Grill the chicken: Preheat your grill to medium heat (approximately 350-400°F or 175-200°C). Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
5. 5Make the peanut sauce: While the chicken is grilling, combine the 1/2 cup Peanut Butter, 1/2 cup Coconut Milk, 1 tbsp Soy Sauce (Gluten-Free), 1 tsp Honey, and 1/4 tsp Chili Flakes (if using) in a small saucepan. Stir in the 1 tbsp Lime Juice.
6. 6Heat the peanut sauce: Place the saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly for 3-5 minutes, until the sauce is smooth, well combined, and heated through. Do not let it boil.
7. 7Serve: Arrange the grilled chicken skewers on a platter. Serve immediately with the warm peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
