air fryer chicken satay skewers

Certainly! Here’s a recipe for delicious air fryer chicken satay skewers:

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Satay:

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into strips
• 1/4 cup coconut milk
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• Pinch of cayenne pepper (adjust to taste for spiciness)
• Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes

For the Peanut Dipping Sauce:

• 1/4 cup peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup water (adjust for desired consistency)
• Crushed peanuts for garnish (optional)
• Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, soy sauce, peanut butter, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, turmeric powder, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create the marinade for the chicken.
2. Add the chicken strips to the marinade and toss them until they are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, or longer for better flavor.
3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) while the chicken is marinating.
4. Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked wooden skewers.
5. Place the chicken skewers in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
6. Air fry the chicken skewers at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time, or until they are cooked through and have a nice browned exterior.
7. While the chicken skewers are cooking, prepare the peanut dipping sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and water. Stir until the sauce is smooth and heated through. Adjust the water for your desired sauce consistency.
8. Once the chicken skewers are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes.
9. Serve the air-fried chicken satay skewers hot with the peanut dipping sauce. Garnish with crushed peanuts and chopped cilantro if desired.

Enjoy your homemade air-fryer chicken satay skewers with a flavorful peanut dipping sauce – they make a fantastic appetizer or main course!
