Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, red curry paste, curry powder, white sugar, and salt. Add chicken thighs and toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Skewers: Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 2 hours. Thread marinated chicken onto each skewer, ensuring they are packed snugly.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat a grill or pan over medium-high heat and add oil. Place skewers on grill and cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  4. Make the Peanut Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine remaining coconut milk, peanut butter, red curry paste, sugar, soy sauce, vinegar, and water. Stir and simmer for about 5 minutes until smooth.
  5. Serve Your Dish: Arrange grilled chicken satay skewers on a platter and drizzle with peanut sauce. Garnish with chopped peanuts, lime wedges, and cilantro.
