Chicken Satay: Cook-off winner 1st Place Sides

Ingredients:

1 pound Chicken Thighs

1 package bamboo skewers

cooking oil

A Lime or two

Marinade:

1 can Coconut Milk

1 tbsp curry powder

1 tsp white sugar

2 tsp red curry paste

1 tsp salt

1 bottle of your favorite Thai Peanut Sauce or make your own

Directions:

1. Cut the chicken into small chunks that can be skewered

2. In a medium-sized bowl mix together the can of Coconut milk, curry powder, sugar, curry paste, and salt.

3. Add Chicken to the marinade and allow it to marinate for at least a half an hour, or overnight for even better results.

4. Remove chicken from marinade and place between 4-5 chunks per skewer depending on the size of chicken chunks.

5. In dutch oven pour in a light covering of oil. Place skewers in the dutch oven. With the lid closed place 14 coals on bottom and about 16 coals on top. Total cook time should be around 25-35 minutes. Rotate the dutch oven and its lid every10 minutes. At about 15 minutes open the dutch oven and rotate the chicken skewers so that the ones towards the middle can also cook evenly. To check: remove a skewer that seems the least cooked and cut the chicken to check that it is fully cooked.

6. Place chicken skewers on a plate and serve with lime wedges and peanut sauce.
