Charcoal-Grilled Thai Chicken with Peanut Coconut Sauce

Ingredients

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon sambal
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

1. Prepare Marinade:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, garlic, peanut butter, lime juice, sambal, and ground ginger. Mix well until the sugar is dissolved and the peanut butter is fully incorporated.

2. Marinate Chicken:
- Place chicken breasts in a shallow dish or a resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

3. Prepare Charcoal Grill:
- Preheat your charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Ensure the coals are covered with gray ash, indicating they’re ready for grilling.

4. Grill Chicken:
- Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, and discard the remaining marinade. Place chicken breasts on the grill. Cook each side for about 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear.

5. Garnish and Serve:
- Transfer grilled chicken to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro before serving.

6. Enjoy Dinner:
- Serve with steamed rice or a fresh salad to complement the dish.
