Peanut Butter Sriracha Chicken Satay

Peanut Butter Sriracha Chicken Satay

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

  • 4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts

For the Sauce:

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp. peanut or canola oil
  • ½ cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp. Sriracha sauce, or to taste
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • ¼ cup water
  • 4 tbsp. low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil
  • 4 tbsp. rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp. fresh ginger root, finely grated
  • ½ tsp. black pepper
  • 2 tbsp. lemon juice
  • ¼ cup roasted peanuts, for garnish optional
  • Cooked rice, if using

Instructions
 

To prepare the chicken:

  • Slice the chicken breasts in long strips about ¼-inch wide.
  • Weave the chicken strips onto the skewers; set aside in the refrigerator until the sauce is ready.

To prepare the sauce:

  • Pre-heat the grill to 375°F.
  • In a small saucepan, over medium low heat, lightly sauté the garlic in the peanut oil for just a minute or so, just to soften but not brown the garlic.
  • Add all of the remaining ingredients for the sauce, except the lemon juice; simmer slowly for 5 -10 minutes or until the sauce thickens just little; should it cook down too much, just add a little more water to bring the sauce back to a pourable/brushable consistency.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice; allow the sauce to cool for a few minutes.
  • Pour half of the sauce into a separate bowl and reserve as a dipping sauce or to pour on the rice, if serving as a meal.
  • Brush the remaining half of the sauce onto the prepared skewers.
  • Lay the skewers onto the pre-heated grill and cook for about 3 minutes, per side, or until fully cooked through.
  • Serve immediately with a garnish of roasted peanuts, if you like.
