Steps:
- Combine the garlic, cilantro, honey, red curry, coconut milk, soy sauce and water in a sauce pan set over medium heat, bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, remove from the heat and cool completely. Divide the sauce in two, put half in a dish large enough to hold the chicken and set the second half aside to be used later as the dipping sauce.
- The chicken should be sliced lengthwise into strips, threaded on the presoaked skewers and placed into the first dish of sauce. Refrigerate and marinate the chicken overnight.
- When ready to cook, heat a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the peanut oil. Before the oil begins to smoke, pan fry the skewered chicken in batches.
- While the chicken is cooking put the reserved sauce into a small sauce pan and return quickly to the boil, reduce to a simmer and add the chopped peanuts. Let cook for 5 minutes and then remove from the heat. Serve warm.

CHICKEN SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE (MARK BITTMAN)
Another Mark Bittman recipe that I am posting for safekeeping. This one is also not specific in the amounts. I am guessing that the chicken is 1 pound. Prep and cooking times are also wild stabs. UPDATE 2-22-13: Today I tried making the sauce for the first time. I thought that the ingredients listed were fine, but the sauce seemed too bland. I doubled the lime juice and a couple of other seasonings, and added a little garlic powder, and I thought that made a significant improvement. It would be best for you to experiment and find the proportions of the ingredients that work best for you.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the flavor of your satay. Use fresh, flavorful chicken and beef, and choose a peanut sauce that is made with natural ingredients.
- Marinate the meat: Marinating the meat in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs will help to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. Be sure to marinate the meat for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Cook the meat over medium heat: Cooking the meat over medium heat will help to prevent it from becoming dry or tough. Be sure to cook the meat until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.
- Serve the satay with a variety of dipping sauces: Peanut sauce is the traditional dipping sauce for satay, but you can also serve it with other sauces, such as sweet and sour sauce, hoisin sauce, or chili sauce.
- Garnish the satay with fresh herbs and vegetables: Fresh herbs and vegetables will add a pop of color and flavor to your satay. Some good options include cilantro, basil, mint, cucumber, and red onion.
