A Bold and Nutty Companion for Chicken Skewers
Elevate your meal with our Spicy Peanut Satay Sauce, a rich and tangy sauce that perfectly complements chicken skewers and many other grilled dishes like our Indonesian Beef Satay. This sauce blends the nutty goodness of peanuts with a kick of spice and a touch of sweetness. It’s ideal for drizzling over your favorite chicken skewers or using as a dipping sauce for Soft Fluffy Pita Breads, adding depth and character to your dish.
A Fusion of Flavours
The Spicy Peanut Satay Sauce offers a delightful combination of ingredients that create a complex flavour profile. The creamy peanut butter forms the base, while soy sauce, lime juice, and a hint of chilli bring bright, bold notes that cut through the richness. This sauce is not only perfect for chicken skewers but also pairs well with other dishes like Korean Gochujang Chicken Skewers with Sesame and Tandoori Chicken Skewers with Cooling Raita. It’s a versatile condiment that adds excitement and flavour to any meal.
The Perfect Balance of Heat and Sweetness
This sauce is all about balance. The natural creaminess of the peanut butter is enhanced by a splash of soy sauce and lime juice, creating a tangy and savoury depth. A dash of honey rounds out the flavour, while a small amount of chilli paste gives it just enough heat to elevate your chicken skewers without overwhelming them. The result is a sauce that is both smooth and vibrant, making it a fantastic addition to any grilled dish.
A Versatile Addition to Your Kitchen
Not only does our Spicy Peanut Satay Sauce pair beautifully with chicken skewers, but it’s also a fantastic dipping sauce for a variety of snacks and sides. Drizzle it over Greek Lemon Herb Rice or use it as a spread on Soft Fluffy Pita Breads for an extra burst of flavour.
