- Toss chicken, garlic, ginger and 1 tablespoon fish sauce in a bowl until the chicken is coated in the marinade. Cover and marinate for 1 hour.
- While the chicken is marinating, heat the peanut oil in a frypan over medium heat. Stir in onions, garlic, ginger and chillies. Cook and stir until the onion begins to turn golden brown, about 7 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce and lime juice until blended. Simmer very gently for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep warm.
- Preheat a barbecue for medium-high heat and lightly oil grate. Thread chicken onto skewers.
- Barbecue chicken skewers on preheated barbecue until no longer pink in the centre, about 3 minutes per side. Serve with warm peanut sauce.

The chicken was fantastic! I made this chicken but used the peanut sauce recipe from 'peanut sauce II' I don't have a grill, so I skipped the skewer and grill bit and just fried the chicken in a frying pan, then served the chicken and sauce over rice. I had a guest over for dinner and he kept commenting on how good it was! I'll definately be making this again! - 12 Feb 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I'd give 4.5 if I could. The chicken was very tender, and the peanut sauce was OK... I think I'd sweeten it up a bit and add less soy sauce and more chiles next time, but that is just a matter of personal taste. What I hate about EVERY peanut sauce recipe I try is the reliance on peanut butter!!! The sauces you get in really good thai restaurants don't have that same waxy/silky texture that the peanut butter produces, but I simply cannot find a peanut sauce recipe without it!! Maybe time to create my own (and then post it!) - 11 Feb 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
YUM! This was great. It made a lot of sauce, but it was good. My sister in law is from Thailand and this was very similar to her chicken satay. Thanks! - 13 Nov 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
