Ingredients

1 tbsp curry powder
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 can coconut milk (7 oz)
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
2 tbsp of red Thai curry paste
1 tbsp of fish sauce
1 tbsp honey
Juice of 1/2 of lime

Instructions
Prepare Chicken:
- Cut the chicken thighs into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken thighs, garlic powder, curry powder, salt and pepper.
- Add some avocado oil and marinate for 30 minutes or preferably overnight in the refrigerator for more flavor.
- If cooking the chicken in 30 minutes, SOAK YOUR SKEWERS TO AVOID BURNING THEM.
Preheat Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
Skewer Chicken:
- Thread the marinated chicken strips onto skewers.
Air Fry Chicken:
- Place the chicken skewers in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they're not overcrowded.
- Cook the chicken in the air fryer for about 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked and nicely browned on the outside.
- Adjust cooking time as needed based on the size of your chicken pieces and the air fryer model.
Prepare Peanut Sauce:
- In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, red Thai curry paste, fish sauce and honey.
- Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth, thick, and well combined.
- Add lime juice at the end.
Serve:
- Once the chicken satay is cooked, serve it hot with the prepared peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
