Thai Chicken Satay Skewers with Peanut-Free Sauce

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Chicken Thighs
• 1/2 cup Coconut Milk
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tbsp Lime Juice
• 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tsp Ginger
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
• 1/4 tsp Cumin
• 1/4 tsp Coriander
• 12 count Wooden Skewers
• 1/4 cup Sunflower Seed Butter
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 1/2 tsp Sriracha
• 2-3 tbsp Water

Instructions

1. 1Place the 12 count wooden skewers in a shallow dish and cover with water. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
2. 2Cut the 1.5 lb chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces. In a medium bowl, combine the coconut milk, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tsp ginger (grated), 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp cumin, and 1/4 tsp coriander. Add the cut chicken pieces to the bowl and toss everything together to make sure the chicken is fully coated in the marinade. Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
3. 3While the chicken is marinating, prepare the sauce. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup sunflower seed butter, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 1 tbsp honey, and 1/2 tsp sriracha. Add 2-3 tbsp water, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking until the sauce is smooth and reaches your desired drizzling consistency.
4. 4Preheat your grill or a grill pan to medium heat, around 375°F (190°C).
5. 5Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small space between each piece. You should have enough chicken to fill all 12 skewers.
6. 6Place the skewers on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side. The chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). The outside should be lightly charred.
7. 7Remove the chicken satay skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve the skewers immediately with the prepared peanut-free satay sauce for dipping.
