Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Satay Skewers
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, peanut butter, and honey until smooth and well combined, creating a rich, flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the chicken: Add the chicken strips into the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the flavors to infuse and tenderize the meat.
- Thread the chicken onto skewers: Carefully thread the marinated chicken strips onto skewers, spreading them evenly for consistent cooking.
- Cook the skewers: Either grill the skewers over medium heat or bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), approximately 10-15 minutes. Turn occasionally for even cooking.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before cooking to prevent burning if grilling.
- You can serve these skewers with peanut sauce or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.
- For a richer marinade, add minced garlic or grated ginger.
- If baking, use a baking sheet lined with foil and a wire rack for best results.
- Leftover skewers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
