How to Make Chicken Satay

This is a great party dish. Once the chicken is marinated, it's a snap. Serves six people.

Instructions

Mix the coconut milk, 2 tbsp. of the sugar, chili garlic sauce, fish sauce, red pepper flakes and coriander together in a large bowl. Slice the chicken breasts crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices.
Add the chicken breasts to the marinade, mix well and cover. Place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours and as long as overnight.
Combine the peanut butter, tomato paste, remaining sugar, 1/3 c. water and hoisin sauce. Heat the oil in a small saucepan over high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the garlic and pepper flakes.
Stir frequently for 4 or 5 seconds and then add the sauce mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, for 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the sauce from the heat.
Heat a grill to medium hot or preheat a broiler.
Thread the chicken on the skewers and grill or broil until just done.
Serve with the sauce alongside and the cilantro sprinkled over the top.
