Directions

In a bowl, combine chicken, coconut milk, curry powder, red curry paste, salt, and sugar.
Mix well, cover, and marinate for at least 20 minutes (up to overnight for best flavor).
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 2 hours to prevent burning.
Thread marinated chicken onto skewers, about 4–5 pieces each.
Heat 1 ½ tbsp oil in a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Cook skewers in batches for about 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked.
In a saucepan, combine coconut milk, red curry paste, peanut butter, sugar, soy sauce, salt, vinegar, and water.
Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until smooth and slightly thickened.
Adjust consistency with a little water if needed.
Arrange chicken satay skewers on a platter, sprinkle with chopped peanuts, and garnish with cilantro and chili if desired.
Serve with warm peanut sauce on the side and jasmine rice or cucumber slices.

Recipe Note

Chef Tips

Best chicken cut: Chicken thighs stay juicier than breasts, but either will work.
Charcoal cooking: For the most authentic Thai flavor, grill over charcoal instead of a pan.
Peanut butter choice: Use natural peanut butter for the best taste and smoother sauce.
Make ahead: Marinate chicken overnight and prepare peanut sauce a day in advance.

Serving Suggestions

As an appetizer: Serve skewers with peanut sauce for dipping at parties or BBQs.
As a main dish: Pair with jasmine rice, coconut rice, or fried rice.
As part of a Thai feast: Serve with Pad See Ew, Thai Basil Chicken, or Massaman Curry.

Storage & Reheating

Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Freeze marinated raw chicken (without skewers) for up to 2 months. Freeze peanut sauce separately.
Reheat: Warm chicken in a skillet or oven until heated through; reheat peanut sauce gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if needed.
