Ingredients

• 2 large chicken breasts
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili paste
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 10 pieces bamboo skewers
• 1 handful fresh cilantro
• 4 pieces lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Cut the chicken breasts into thin, uniform strips (approximately 1 inch wide).

Step 2

Place the bamboo skewers in a dish of water and let soak for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, minced garlic, grated ginger, sriracha, and ground turmeric to create the marinade.

Step 4

Reserve 1/4 cup of the marinade for basting during grilling.

Step 5

Place the chicken strips in the bowl of marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours to let the flavors infuse.

Step 6

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked bamboo skewers, weaving them back and forth for a secure fit.

Step 8

Grill the chicken skewers for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, and brush with the reserved marinade during the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.

Step 9

Ensure the chicken is fully cooked, with no pink in the center, and a slight char on the edges for added flavor.

Step 10

Remove the skewers from the grill and transfer to a serving platter.

Step 11

Garnish the chicken satays with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
