Step 01 of 08

Cut the chicken

700 g

Cut chicken breast (700 g) into strips about 1.5 cm thick and 8-10 cm long. Thinner strips dry out, thicker ones won't marinate properly.

Step 02 of 08

Marinate the meat

3 łyżka
2 łyżka
3 szt
15 g
1 łyżka
1 łyżeczka
700 g

Grate garlic cloves (3 szt) and fresh ginger (15 g) on a fine grater. In a bowl mix soy sauce (3 łyżka), rapeseed oil (2 łyżka), garlic, ginger, honey (1 łyżka) and curry powder (1 łyżeczka). Add the chicken and toss so every piece is coated.

Step 03 of 08

Rest in the fridge

Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for an hour. Shorter doesn't work — salt and acids need time to penetrate the meat.

Tip
You can leave it overnight — it'll be even better.
Step 04 of 08

Soak the skewers

Cover wooden skewers with cold water and leave for 20 minutes. A dry skewer will burn on the pan or grill.

Step 05 of 08

Make the peanut sauce

150 g
250 ml
2 łyżka
1 szt
1 łyżeczka
1 łyżka

In a small pot combine smooth peanut butter (150 g), coconut milk (250 ml), soy sauce (2 łyżka), brown sugar (1 łyżka) and chili flakes (1 łyżeczka). Heat on low, stirring, until the peanut butter melts and the sauce thickens — 4-5 minutes. Take off the heat and squeeze in juice from lime (1 szt). We add juice at the end because acid turns bitter at high heat.

Step 06 of 08

Thread the skewers

700 g

Thread chicken breast (700 g) strips lengthwise onto skewers, accordion-style. Keep pieces close together — gaps mean faster drying.

Step 07 of 08

Cook the skewers

Heat pan 28 cm on high. Don't add oil — the marinade has it already. Cook skewers 3-4 minutes per side, until the meat is golden brown with darker char spots. Char is flavour — don't disturb it.

Tip
Don't move the meat right after placing it. Let it brown, otherwise it'll stick to the pan.
Step 08 of 08

Serve

30 g
0,5 szt

Arrange skewers on a plate, pour peanut sauce over them or serve in a bowl on the side. Sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts (30 g) and fresh cilantro (bunch) (0,5 szt) leaves.
