Ingredients

  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon red curry paste
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon coriander
  • 2 lbs chicken thighs cubed

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, red curry paste, curry powder, honey, coriander, and salt.
    ½ cup coconut milk, 1 tablespoon red curry paste, 2 teaspoons curry powder, 2 teaspoons honey, 1 teaspoon salt, ½ teaspoon coriander
  • Add the chicken cubes to the coconut milk mixture and mix until coated. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour.
    2 lbs chicken thighs
  • Thread the chicken onto skewers.
  • Grill or broil on high for 10 minutes, flip and cook for another 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Serve with peanut sauce and lime wedges, and rice. Garnish with parsley.

Notes

  • You can use chicken breast in place of chicken thighs if you'd like. If you use chicken breast, you might want to brush the skewers with extra coconut milk when you flip them.
  • This is fairly mild. You can up the heat by adding more curry paste or add other flavors like ginger and garlic to the marinade.
  • Chicken satay is delicious when you grill it on an outdoor grill.
