CHICKEN SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE

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.

CHICKEN SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the Peanut Sauce: Heat the oil in a small saucepan over high heat until hot. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring, until very fragrant and thick, about 1 minute.
• Stir in the coconut milk; bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil over. Add the peanut butter and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce begins to thicken and come together, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to a simmer and add the fish sauce, sugar and rice vinegar. Cook, stirring, until the ingredients are incorporated, about 1 minute more; remove from the heat. An oily film will rise to top; skim it off, if you wish. Keep the sauce warm while you make the chicken satay. (See Cook's Note.)
• Make the Chicken Satay: Place the coconut milk, curry powder, salt, sugar, pepper and garlic powder in a medium bowl; whisk to combine the marinade.
• Slice the chicken against the grain into 2-inch square tiles about 1/4-inch thick. Transfer to the marinade and massage to coat the chicken evenly. You can cover and marinate the chicken overnight in the refrigerator for better flavor and tenderness or cook it immediately.
• Thread the chicken onto the bamboo skewers, stopping 2 inches from the bottom of each skewer.
• Heat a grill or grill pan to high and preheat for at least 5 minutes. Rub a little oil on the grill grates or spray with nonstick cooking spray. Working in batches if necessary, grill the chicken on one side until you get nice char marks, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and cook until the chicken is just cooked through, another 3 to 5 minutes. Serve the chicken satay with the peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
