THAI CHICKEN SATAY SKEWERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix all of the ingredients except the coconut milk together in a small bowl. Whisk in a little of the coconut milk at a time until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Refrigerate the sauce until just before you cook the chicken, then leave it at room temperature while the chicken cooks.
• In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, curry powder, turmeric, honey, and fish sauce.
• Using a large resealable plastic bag or a large bowl, combine the chicken and marinade, gently mixing it to ensure all surfaces of the chicken pieces are covered (if using a bowl, be sure to use a spoon or tongs for this step - anything but your hands - so the tumeric doesn't stain your skin). Marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours, turning the bag occasionally to help distribute the marinade.
• Preheat the grill to medium high heat.
• Remove the chicken from the refrigerator then drain off and discard the marinade.
• Gently pat the chicken dry, then thread the chicken onto skewers. Brush the chicken with the oil and season it with the salt and pepper.
• Cook the chicken on the grill until it's completely cooked through, about 12-15 minutes (cooked chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165F before consuming).
• Place the skewers on a serving plate and sprinkle with the peanuts and cilantro (if using). Serve them with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping (you can also just drizzle the sauce over the chicken on the serving plate then add the toppings after).

Steps:

• For the chicken: Cut the chicken tenders into 2-inch pieces and put in a large container. Whisk together the yogurt, curry powder, hot sauce, garlic, shallot, ginger and some salt in a small bowl. Pour over the chicken, cover and marinate, refrigerated, for 1 to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, soak the wooden skewers in water.
• When ready to cook the chicken, heat a grill pan over medium heat.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread 2 pieces onto each skewer. Grill the chicken until cooked through with nice grill marks, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Let cool. Cover and refrigerate.
• For the peanut sauce: In a small pot, heat the oil. Cook the curry powder, garlic, shallot and ginger until the aromatics are soft. Scrape this into a blender and add the peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, hot chili oil, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Blend, adding the hot water a little at a time to thin it and make it smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover and refrigerate.
• To serve, put a bowl or ramekin of the peanut sauce in the center of a round serving plate. Arrange the skewers in a circular pattern around the bowl with the meat facing toward the center. Sprinkle with the cilantro.

Steps:

• Cut chicken breasts into 2 inch long strips. Lightly pound out with a meat mallet to flatten the strips to a inch thick.
• For the marinade, combine the ground coriander, ground cumin, chopped garlic, grated ginger, fish sauce, curry powder, turmeric powder, coconut milk and brown sugar to form the marinade. Marinade the chicken overnight or at least 6 hours. Thread the chicken on presoaked skewers and grill on barbeque over fairly high heat. Turn them regularly and brush them liberally with the remaining marinade. Cooking should take between 5 and 10 minutes depending on the heat of the barbecue.
• For the peanut sauce, in a saucepan, heat the oil on medium/low heat and fry the onions and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the curry paste and cook for another minute. Add the peanuts, peanut butter, coconut milk, curry paste, fish sauce and stir until smooth. Take off the heat and add the lime juice to taste.
• For the cucumber sauce, combine the sugar, vinegar, cucumber, shallot, chili, and refrigerate overnight.
