15-MINUTES EASY PEANUT CHICKEN SATAY

I am always amazed when I make this recipe how incredible it tastes considering how short the ingredient list is! This quick and easy peanut chicken satay in a creamy peanut sauce might be not the most authentic Thai recipe but is so, so yummy!

Quick and Easy Peanut Chicken Satay

Forget about an infinite list of spices – you only need a handful of pantry staples here.

The key ingredient for a really great peanut sauce is natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oil. It has a thinner consistency and a stronger peanut flavor. And it is easy to find in many supermarkets nowadays.

It’s fast. It’s easy. It’s tasty. So tasty that will make the Thai takeaway around the corner wonder if you still live here:)

It’s the perfect recipe for your weekly meal prep and to make all your colleagues jealous!

Easy Peanut Chicken Satay

In the summertime, I tweak the recipe for the BBQ: make a double batch of the sauce in advance by mixing all the ingredients listed in the recipe except the chicken. Put half the mixture into a reusable, resealable zipper storage bag with the chicken cubes and let it marinate in the fridge overnight. Save the other half for dipping. Thread the chicken on skewers and cook them on the BBQ until fully cooked. Serve with the sauce and some crushed peanut on the side.

Your lucky guests will be licking their fingers 🙂
