Instructions
In a bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, lime juice, garlic, ginger, curry powder, and oil.
Add chicken strips and mix well to coat evenly.
Marinate for at least 20–30 minutes to allow flavours to penetrate. Longer marination enhances depth.
In a bowl, whisk peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, and lime juice.
Gradually add warm water while whisking until smooth and pourable.
The sauce should be thick but not stiff. Adjust consistency carefully.
Thread marinated chicken onto soaked skewers.
Do not overcrowd pieces; leave slight space for even cooking.
Heat a grill pan or barbecue to medium-high.
Cook skewers for 3–4 minutes per side until lightly charred and cooked through.
Internal temperature should reach 75°C.
Avoid overcooking to prevent dryness.
Let chicken rest for 3–4 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with peanut sauce on the side and garnish with fresh coriander.
