These Thai Chicken Satay skewers are easy to make and full of flavor. Adding this creamy and delicious peanut sauce with a kick on the side takes it over the top in deliciousness!

these Thai chicken satay are easy to make and have a great flavor and kick but the real star of this dish is the easy and delicious peanut sauce

How I created this Thai Chicken Satay Recipe with Peanut Sauce

I love international foods – like seriously love them, often more than classic American dishes! I mean does it get better than a good Italian pasta? or a Greek gyro? and then Asian foods… YUM!

I also love dishes that have a lot of flavors in them – and so Thai is always a huge hit with me! And ANYTHING that goes with this peanut sauce is going to be good in my book.

Then I make this super easy Instant pot Coconut Rice (you can also make it in a rice cooker) to serve on the side.

Just take me to the Thai Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce already!

If you’d rather skip my tips and tricks for chicken satay— along with links to other chicken recipes and rice sides— and get straight to this delicious thai chicken with peanut sauce – simply scroll to the bottom of the page where you can find the printable recipe card.

the star of this dish is the amazing peanut sauce with a kick - the Thai chicken satay recipe is super easy too

Thai Chicken Satay Skewers

The chicken is easy enough – toss everything in the blender and blend – marinade for 4 hours or overnight – cook… easy peasy, right?

And there you have it – other than the marinating time this dish takes almost no time at all! It’s a great easy prep meal that I always have all the ingredients for!

Thai Peanut Sauce with a kick

Really for me it’s all about the peanut sauce – which is JUST as easy to make, toss everything in the saucepan and heat on low.

It has the most amazing flavor – I’d eat it straight.  In fact the chicken is pretty much an edible utensil to get the peanut sauce in my mouth.  Yes it’s that good – I really need to make more dishes that use this peanut sauce as a side.

How to make Thai Chicken Satay with Peanut sauce

I recommend marinading the chicken 24 hours for the best flavor – but 4 hours is the minimum I would ever go.

If you are going to make skewers make sure you soak the bamboo skewers for 20 mins before sliding the chicken on so they won’t catch on fire

You can cook the chicken however you like.  Grill, or cook on a cooktop with grill lines.  You can bake them even faster but you won’t get the lines.  Seriously whatever your favorite way to cook chicken this will work.

Make sure you keep the peanut sauce on low – if you bring it to a simmer or over cook the sauce it will get thick and dark.  Keep it low and slow and if you need to add more liquid I’d add more coconut milk to thin it out.

    If you love this peanut butter sauce, try using cashew butter! You can make it at home by toasting 1 cup cashew pieces with 1 tsp, walnut or sesame oil. Then process in the food processor while drizzling in up to 1/2 cup walnut oil ( you can substitute avocado or olive oil). Pulse until nuts are completely ground then scrape down sides and pulse until the same consistency as peanut butter. I serve both cashew butter and peanut butter sauce with my chicken satays. People are equally divided on which is better. I love them both!

      NICE! I love cashews, so that’s a great suggestion. I’ll give it a try.
