Does it get better than succulent chicken cooked on the BBQ with a delicious peanut dipping sauce. This recipe is Thai inspired and super simple to make. The red curry paste adds a deeper flavour that you can’t do without so don’t skimp on this ingredient. So what are you waiting for, get cooking. Your tastebuds will thank you.

Marinade:

Chicken thighs or breasts (600-800g slice thinly or cut into cubes)

Bamboo or metal skewers (15-20)

Curry Powder (1 Tbsp)

White sugar (1 tsp)

Red curry paste (2 tsp)

Salt (1 tsp)

Coconut milk (1/4 cup)


Peanut Sauce:

Coconut milk (3/4 cup)

Red curry paste (2 Tbsp)

Peanut Butter (1/2 cup)

White sugar (1/4 cup)

Dark soy sauce (1 Tbsp)

Salt (1 tsp)

Cider Vinegar (2 Tbsp)

Water (3/4 cup)


Serving:

Coriander (2 Tbsp, roughly chopped)

Peanuts (2 Tbsp chopped)

Lime wedges (2-4, optional)


Method:

Soak skewers for at least 30 mins before using.

Cut chicken into long strips or cubes. Mix chicken with all the marinade ingredients. Leave to marinate for at least 1 hour.

Thread chicken onto skewers. Preferably cook skewers on the bbq over high heat or in a non stick pan over. Enjoy!


Peanut Sauce:

Place coconut milk and all other sauce ingredients except water in a saucepan and slowly heat on a medium to low heat.

Stir to combine and then simmer for 3 minutes, stirring every minute or so.

Slowly pour water in bit by bit until you reach the desired consistency.

Simmer for another 2 minutes and reduce heat. The sauce should be able to be poured but slightly thickish so it hangs onto the skewers.

Cover, keep warm and serve with skewers.
