 Thia Peanut Chicken Satay's, sweet, savory and spicy these gems of goodness are very popular and for good reason, not only are they delicious when prepared properly, they are a very low cost item to place on a menu or to prepare at home, average cost per skewer with sauce is between 50 and 70 cents depending on what part and quality of chicken used. To follow is a quick, easy totally satisfying recipe for Sweet and Savory Thia Peanut Sauce with a little heat to it. I mentioned Chicken Satay,  by all means this sauce can be served with pasta, veggies, stir fry even on ice cream , very versatile. So with out further introduction............

Ingredients:

2 tbsp cornstarch 1/4 cup cold water  1/4 cup lite coconut milk 1/4 cup soy sauce  1 cup peanut butter (smooth) 1/4 cup brown sugar 1 tbsp chili sauce (sriricha) 1 tbsp white rice vinegar 2 tsp sesame oil

Dissolve corn starch in 1/4 cup of cold water and set aside.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the soy sauce, chili sauce, peanut butter, brown sugar, white rice vinegar, sesame oil and coconut milk. Simmer and stir until sugar has dissolved. Stir in the cornstarch mixture and simmer until sauce is thick, or 1-2 minutes. If you wish not to use cornstarch allow the sauce to reduce by 1/4. I think the chicken skewers we all know or can figure out, what I will say is to marinade the skewers in a bit of the sauce for 2-24 hours prior to grilling. Should you wish instruction on them feel free to ask. Have an Good Day and enjoy!!
