- 1 1/2 lbs Chicken Thighs
- ¼ cup Soy Sauce
- ¼ cup Coconut Milk
- 1 tbsp Brown Sugar
- 2 Garlic Cloves grated or minced
- 1 tsp Turmeric
- ½ tsp Ginger Powder
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Crushed Red Pepper
For The Peanut Sauce
- ½ cup Peanut Butter Smooth
- ¼ cup Coconut Milk unsweetened
- 2 tbsp Brown Sweetener
- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce low sodium

- 1 tsp minced garlic

Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken. In a mixing bowl, combine ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup coconut milk, 1 tbsp brown sugar, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp turmeric, ½ tsp ginger powder, ½ tsp salt, and ¼ tsp crushed red pepper.
- Add the chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces, to the marinade. Ensure all the chicken pieces are coated with the marinade.
- Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare the Chicken Skewers. Remove the chicken from the refrigerator and preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- While the air fryer is preheating, thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
- Once the air fryer is preheated, place the chicken skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Cook the chicken skewers in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through or until the chicken is cooked through and has a golden brown exterior.
- Make the Peanut Sauce. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the peanut sauce. In a large bowl, mix ½ cup smooth peanut butter, ¼ cup unsweetened coconut milk, 2 tbsp brown sugar, 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce, 2 tbsp fresh lime juice, 1 tsp minced garlic, ¼ tsp ginger powder, and 1 tbsp Thai Red Curry Paste or hot sauce.
- Enjoy. Once the chicken skewers are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a serving plate.
- Serve the chicken satay skewers with the prepared peanut sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.
