Exploring New Flavors: Spicy Peanut Butter Chicken Skewers

Today, I’m excited to share a unique recipe that’s perfect for a backyard barbecue or a cozy night in – Spicy Peanut Butter Chicken Skewers. This dish combines the rich and creamy flavors of peanut butter with a kick of spice, resulting in a mouthwatering combination that will leave you craving more.

Ingredients:

• 350g boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 100g creamy peanut butter
• 30ml sriracha sauce
• 30ml soy sauce
• 15ml honey
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Wooden skewers, soaked in water

Kitchen Tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• grill pan
• knife

I start by cutting the chicken breast into bite-sized cubes and threading them onto the soaked skewers. In a mixing bowl, I combine the peanut butter, sriracha sauce, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, salt, and pepper. I whisk the ingredients together until smooth and creamy, creating a flavorful marinade for the chicken skewers.

Next, I generously brush the peanut butter mixture over the chicken skewers, making sure each piece is coated evenly. I let the skewers marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Once the chicken has marinated, I heat a grill pan over medium heat and place the skewers on the pan. I grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice char.

The aroma of the spicy peanut butter marinade fills the kitchen, making my mouth water in anticipation. The chicken turns golden brown with crispy edges, and the peanut butter glaze caramelizes beautifully.

Serving:

Once the skewers are cooked to perfection, I serve them hot off the grill with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts and a wedge of lime on the side. The tender chicken, smoky grill marks, and bold flavors of peanut butter and sriracha create a harmonious blend that is sure to impress your guests.

One clever tip for this recipe is to drizzle a little extra honey over the skewers just before serving for a touch of sweetness that balances out the heat from the sriracha.
