If you love the taste of Thai food, also try our sticky Thai peanut chicken wings, Thai fish curry, or Thai turkey lettuce wraps. This is our go-to Thai grilled chicken dish for summer, and it’s such a hit. With ginger, garlic, lime, and coconut sugar, it’s full of authentic Thai flavor. And it’s healthier and tastier than take-out! It’s a great recipe for grilling season, and it’s time-efficient, too. Make the satay sauce while the chicken marinates, and mix together the cucumber salad while the chicken is grilling. Since we’re firm believers that sauce makes everything better, this recipe is all about the peanut satay sauce. It’s creamy, savory-sweet, and simply irresistible. You’ll be looking for reasons to dip everything in it!
Chicken thighs – we use boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe. The darker thigh meat is more juicy and great for grilling! Soy sauce – you can use tamari, coconut aminos, or a gluten-free alternative if needed. Fish sauce – this pungent-smelling ingredient adds tons of delicious flavor to the chicken. Coconut sugar – find coconut sugar in most well-stocked grocery stores in the same place you’d find other sugars. Granulated cane sugar or brown sugar also work in a pinch! Lime juice – ideally freshly squeezed. Turmeric Paprika Ginger + garlic
Coconut oil Onion, ginger + garlic Coconut milk – helps make this sauce extra creamy! Peanut butter – go for a natural peanut butter because it tends to be runnier and is a better consistency for the sauce. Plus, it has no unwanted ingredients. Soy sauce Lime juice – you could also add some of the lime zest for more citrus flavor!
English cucumber Red onion Mayonnaise – try our delicious homemade mayonnaise! Sea salt + pepper
You could also swap the cucumber salad for other Thai-inspired sides like mango Thai noodle salad with sesame ginger dressing or Thai chopped salad with sweet sesame mango dressing.
