Skewered Chicken Thighs with Peanut Sauce
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter, preferably chunky
- 1 tablespoon curry paste (page 9) or curry powder, preferably homemade (pages 592593), or to taste
- About 1/2 cup coconut milk, homemade (page 584) or canned
- 2 tablespoons nam pla or soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken thighs, cut into large chunks
- Lime wedges for serving
- Chopped fresh cilantro leaves for garnish
- Start a charcoal or gas grill or preheat the broiler; the fire should be only moderately hot, and the rack should be at least 4 inches from the heat source.
- Put the peanut butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; add the curry paste and enough coconut milk to achieve a creamy, stirrable consistency.
- Cook over low heat, whisking, for about 5 minutes; do not boil.
- Stir in the nam pla and lime juice.
- Marinate the chicken in this mixture for 5 minutes or up to an hour.
- Grill or broil slowly, until nicely browned and cooked through, 10 minutes or longer.
- Serve hot, sprinkled with fresh lime juice and garnished with cilantro.
