How To Make Singaporean Satay And Peanut Sauce

chicken thighs

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: pork

Chicken breast is leaner, while pork can be more affordable.

peanut butter

🥗Healthier: almond butter

💰Cheaper: sunflower seed butter

Almond butter offers similar creaminess with less saturated fat.

coconut milk

🥗Healthier: light coconut milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Light coconut milk reduces calories while maintaining flavor.

brown sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: white sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness with potential health benefits.

Soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl.

Mix peanut butter, soy sauce, coconut milk, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, brown sugar, and lime juice in a separate bowl to create marinade.

Pour marinade over chicken and mix well. Marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Thread marinated chicken pieces onto soaked skewers.

Grill skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.

While chicken is grilling, prepare peanut sauce by mixing remaining peanut butter, soy sauce, and lime juice.

Serve grilled chicken skewers with peanut sauce on the side, garnished with chopped peanuts, cucumber, and red onion.
