Succulent chicken skewers marinated in aromatic spices and grilled to perfection, served with a creamy, rich keto-friendly peanut sauce. This Keto Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce is a deliciously satisfying dish that's perfect for anyone following a low-carb, high-fat diet.
In a mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, fish sauce, erythritol, minced garlic, ground cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
Add the chicken strips to the marinade and ensure they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto skewers.
Grill the chicken skewers for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has nice grill marks.
While the chicken cooks, prepare the peanut sauce by mixing peanut butter, coconut milk, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, erythritol, and chili flakes in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir the peanut sauce continuously, adding warm water as needed to reach your desired consistency. Cook until the sauce is smooth and heated through.
Serve the grilled chicken satay with the warm peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
Notes
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.Adjust the level of spice in both the marinade and the peanut sauce to suit your taste.The erythritol can be substituted with another keto-friendly sweetener if desired.Ensure all sauces and vinegar are sugar-free to keep the dish keto-friendly.
