Load up your own rendition of these Chicken Satay Bowls with your favorite fresh or cooked veggies, choice of rice or cauliflower rice, and don't forget the peanut sauce!
Mix together the ingredients for the peanut sauce in a small bowl until well-combined. If your coconut milk is chunky and difficult to stir, consider heating up the ingredients on the stove top to coax them to melt together. Refrigerate sauce in a sealed jar in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the satay marinade ingredients (liquid aminos, lime juice, honey, sriracha, ginger, fish sauce, and garlic).
Cut the chicken into 1-inch thick strips and transfer to a large zip lock bag or a sealable container. Pour in the marinade and stir everything around until the chicken pieces are coated with marinade. Seal the container (or zip lock) and marinate for at least 1 hour, ideally 24 hours.
When you’re ready to cook, take the marinated chicken out of the refrigerator, and thread it onto metal skewers as though you are making shish kabobs.
Grilling Instructions:
Preheat the grill to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a wire brush to brush off any remaining food from the last grilling session from the grill grates. Spray grill grates with cooking spray.
Grill over direct heat for 2 minutes per side. Move skewers to a cooler part of the grill and continue grilling and flipping until the chicken is cooked through.
Baking Instructions:
Place your oven on the high broil setting.
Transfer the chicken satay skewers to a large baking sheet. Broil on the shelf that is third from the top for 10 minutes. Check for doneness and continue broiling is need be.
Chicken thighs are cooked through once it reaches an internal temperature of 170 degrees Fahrenheit. Insert a digital thermometer into a thicker piece of chicken to get an accurate read.
Serve Chicken Satay:
Once cool enough to handle, slide the cooked chicken off of the skewers and serve them with your choice of side dishes. Or, do as I do and make a bowl with white rice, grated carrots, cherry tomatoes, avocado, cilantro, a drizzle of peanut sauce, and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
