This sweet and spicy chicken satay is a perfect blend of flavors with tender chicken skewers marinated in a delicious sauce. The sweetness comes from honey, while the spiciness comes from chili flakes and garlic. Grilling the skewers gives them a smoky flavor while keeping the chicken juicy and tender. Serve them with a peanut dipping sauce for a complete and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into thin strips
  • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili flakes
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
  • Peanut dipping sauce, for serving

Directions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, vegetable oil, lime juice, minced garlic, and chili flakes.
  2. Add the chicken strips to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for maximum flavor.
  3. Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small space between each strip.
  5. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has grill marks.
  6. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
  7. Serve the sweet and spicy chicken satay with peanut dipping sauce on the side.
