The chicken satay sticks could taste like shoe leather. If they did, it would be fine. This peanut-lime dressing will enhance the taste of anything.
But don’t worry. You will not be disappointed. Promise.
It’s golden-brown, perfectly grilled chicken with the perfect amount of charred and smoky goodness. With the help of some pantry spices and a coconut milk marinade, the marinade elevates the chicken to a new level of flavor.
This creamy, zesty, peanut-lime sauce really is the best peanut butter sauce you’ve ever had. SO SO SO GOOD.

Combine coconut milk, brown sugar, fish sauce, turmeric, soy sauce, and curry powder in a medium-sized bowl.
Combine chicken with coconut milk in a large Ziploc bag. Marinate for 2 hours or overnight. Turn the bag every so often.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade.
Preheat the grill to medium heat. Thread the chicken onto skewers. Brush chicken with canola and season to taste with salt and pepper.
The chicken should be cooked to 165 degrees F (about 12-15 minutes) by adding skewers and turning them occasionally.
