Instructions
To embark on the culinary journey of crafting the Thai Baked Chicken Satay, begin by thoroughly washing and cleaning the chicken, then slicing it lengthwise into strips approximately 2 inches thick. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup of coconut milk, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 tablespoon of Thai red curry paste, and 1-1/2 teaspoons of salt to create a marinade. Mix these ingredients well before adding the chicken pieces, allowing them to marinate for about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare skewers by washing and drying them, then threading 1-2 pieces of the marinated chicken strips onto each skewer. Arrange the skewers on a baking tray lined with aluminum foil. Bake the chicken satay for 20-30 minutes, then finish by broiling them for an additional 5 minutes over direct flame to impart a delightful smoky flavor.
For the accompanying Thai Peanut Sauce, combine the remaining coconut milk, peanut butter, fish sauce, brown sugar, Thai red curry paste, and a touch of chili-garlic paste in a bowl. Transfer this mixture to a saucepan, heating it over medium heat while stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Once warmed through, remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice before allowing it to cool in a bowl.
Finally, arrange the chicken satay skewers on a serving plate, drizzling the luscious peanut sauce over them, or serve it alongside in a bowl for dipping. This Thai Baked Chicken Satay pairs exquisitely with Thai Green Curry with Chicken and fragrant Thai Jasmine Sticky Rice, making it a perfect dish for your weekend gathering. Enjoy!
