Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, combine chicken thighs with coconut milk, curry powder, sugar, red curry paste, and salt. Mix well until all chicken pieces are coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, ideally overnight.
  2. While the chicken is marinating, soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread approximately 4-5 pieces of chicken onto each skewer.
  3. Heat a non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Place the skewers in and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden-brown and cooked through.
  4. In a saucepan, combine the remaining coconut milk, red curry paste, peanut butter, sugar, dark soy sauce, cider vinegar, and water. Heat over medium heat, simmering for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  5. Arrange the cooked Thai Chicken Satay skewers on a serving platter, serve alongside the peanut sauce, and garnish with chopped peanuts, coriander, and lime wedges.
