Answer 2

((modify the recipe for the amount you need))

For the peanut sauce

2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1-2 cloves garlic, minced or chopped

1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon brown sugar

juice from half a lemon (can be less, depending on your tastes)

In a non-stick pan, combine all ingredients, stirring constatntly over medium heat until peanut butter has melted. You can do this in the microwave too, for about 30-40 seconds.

I also do it in this variation

1 cup smooth peanut butter

1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

2 teaspoons red chili paste, such as sambal

2 tablespoons dark brown sugar

2 limes, juiced

1/2 cup hot water

Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, red chili paste, brown sugar, and lime juice in a food processor or blender. Puree to combine. While the motor is running, drizzle in the hot water to thin out the sauce, you may not need all of it.

My mom does this one...

1/2 cup smooth natural peanut butter

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

1 tablespoon water

Pinch red pepper flakes

2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon sugar

Whisk together peanut butter, vinegar, water, pepper flakes, sesame oil, soy sauce, and sugar in a bowl. If the dressing is still too thick you may add more water.

So there all basically all the same ingredients give or take. lol

As for the Chicken, The peanut sauce is more than enough flavoring for me so I don't season them separately  with anything but Salt & pepper. Pop um on the skewer grill till' there a little browned then I baste mine with the sauce, however you, can marinate them in it or put them on the grill with the sauce. or serve it on the side.

Answer 3

Easy Satay sauce:

225g crunchy peanut butter

300ml coconut milk

1 teaspoon dried chilly flakes (more or less depending on taste)

2 teaspoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Bring all the ingrediants to a boil in a pot while stirring. switch down heat and leave to simmer for 5 minutes. The sauce will become a little darker and the oil from the peanut butter will start to separate. Serve over chicken b*****s.

Enjoy!
