Thai Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

Thai Chicken Satay Skewers are tasty enough to eat plain but we'd never skip Thai Peanut Sauce for dipping! The essential ingredient for a really great peanut sauce is natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oil. But normal peanut butter will work fine too.

Mix together the chicken and Marinade with 1/4 cup of coconut milk, then set aside for at least 20 minutes, or overnight.
Thread onto skewers - I do 4 to 5 pieces each.
Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a large non stick pan over medium high heat.
Cook skewers in batches for 3 minutes on each side until golden.
