Chicken satay bring the wonderful tastes of Southeast Asia to your table. Commonly served in Indonesia, Malaysia and across Thailand, it's an easy dish to master at home. The chicken is marinated in an aromatic mixture of lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, garlic and ginger, then quickly grilled on skewers to add charred, smoky flavor. Serve with a creamy coconut-peanut sauce for dipping! It's a perfect appetizer for summer barbeques, or as a flavorful side dish served with pad Thai, curry, or cabbage salad as part of a Southeast Asian-inspired feast.

Mealthy Tip

Grilling the chicken with coconut oil instead of canola or vegetable adds just a hint of nutty flavor. If you don't have a grill, use a cast-iron grill pan on your stove to get a similar effect. To make the satay gluten free and paleo, substitute tamari for the soy sauce. Use natural peanut for optimal clean eating... be sure to read the ingredients on the label to ensure it doesn't have added sugar.

Jen the Mighty says:

Agave nectar and molasses add a new depth of flavor to peanut sauce that pairs really well with the chicken satay. These are always good for a crowd and super easy to put together.

Jessica Scott says:

This was a really delicious, authentic tasting satay recipe! It takes about an hour to marinate, but that wasn't too bad at all. The peanut sauce was also really good.

Angela Kirby says:

Marinade is a definate five star, although I used honey just cuz I didn't have agave. Sauce is a 4 star, however, it gave me great ideas to alter the other peanut sauce recipe I use. My only suggestion is, that since this server is fairly new, if you could add a feature to alter the number of servings. I was making this for a family of 6, and that much math in my head on the fly is a bit of a pain. This dish was a real crowd pleaser though. Marinaded for a few hours and baked at 350 for 30 minutes since I didn't want the hassle of the grill.
