Thai Chicken Skewers with Peanut Sauce 🍢🔥

I absolutely LOVE the vibrant flavor combo of spicy Thai (or any bold Asian) dishes paired with peanuts or peanut butter. So today, I fired up the grill to make these insanely delicious Thai-inspired chicken skewers, topped with a rich peanut sauce. Paired alongside my Crispy Sweet and Spicy Brussels Sprouts, it’s a flavor-packed feast. My hubs was happy, I was happy, and the dog? Well, he was just jealous he didn’t get a taste! 😂

What you’ll need:

Marinade:
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce 🥢
1 tbsp red curry paste 🌶️
1 tsp rice vinegar 🍚

Chicken:
1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes 🍗

Peanut Sauce:
¼ cup natural peanut butter (I love Smuckers—no added sugar or palm oil) 🥜
2-3 tbsp warm water
1.5 tsp low sodium soy sauce
1 tsp rice vinegar
Juice of 1 lime
1 tsp sesame oil

Garnish:
3 scallions, thinly sliced 🌿
A handful of roughly chopped peanuts 🥜
A pinch of red chili flakes 🌶️

Tip: If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them for 20-30 minutes so they don’t burn on the grill.

Let’s get grilling!

1. Toss the chicken in a bag with the marinade and let it hang out in the fridge for at least 30 minutes—more flavor that way! 🕒
2. Thread about 7-9 pieces of chicken onto each skewer.
3. Preheat your grill to about 400°F. When it’s hot and ready, toss the skewers on and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning and rotating every 4 minutes or so for even char and juicy goodness. 🔥
4. Once cooked to perfection, brush all sides of the chicken generously with that luscious peanut sauce.
5. Serve topped with fresh scallions, chopped peanuts, and a sprinkle of red chili flakes for that perfect spicy kick.

Bonus: peanut sauce magic

Whisk the peanut butter, warm water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, and sesame oil together until smooth and creamy. Adjust water for your desired consistency—thinner for drizzle, thicker for dipping!
