Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, whisk 1/2 cup coconut milk with the curry powder, turmeric, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp fish sauce, then add the chicken strips and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight) so the flavors penetrate.
- 2
Thread the marinated chicken lengthwise onto the soaked skewers in a flat ribbon shape, pressing gently so the meat lies snug against the bamboo for even cooking.
- 3
To make the peanut sauce, simmer the remaining 1/2 cup coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium heat, then whisk in the peanut butter, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tbsp fish sauce until smooth and thickened, about 3-4 minutes; thin with a splash of water if needed.
- 4
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high (around 400°F) and lightly oil the grates, then grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until the edges are caramelized and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- 5
Transfer the satay to a platter and serve hot alongside the warm peanut sauce and a few slices of cucumber for dipping.
