    Thai Chicken Satay with Creamy Peanut Sauce & Cucumber Salad

    This flavorful, naturally dairy-free Thai chicken satay recipe is a blast from the past. It’s one of those dishes that is easy to make, and tastes amazing, but that I seem to forget about. So we’re revisiting it today! This post now includes options for all – gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, and even peanut-free.

    Thai Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce, Cucumber Salad & Options for All

    This is a truly versatile recipe. You can serve it as an appetizer at a gathering, as a small plate for a tapas-style dinner, or as the entire entrée for a healthy meal. It is light enough for summer, but rich enough to enjoy when cooler weather hits.

    You can make each component ahead, and even at different times. Despite the amount of ingredients, they really are fast and easy to throw together.

    And of course, you can modify the recipe to fit your dietary needs or pantry. We’ve include several easy swaps to make this entire recipe allergy-friendly. And if you need to omit garlic, ginger, scallions, or peanuts, it won’t affect the recipe dramatically. The recipe was originally shared with us by Nakano, the makers of rice vinegar. They suggest using their roasted garlic rice vinegar or regular seasoned rice vinegar, which can add even more flavor.

    Special Diet Notes: Thai Chicken Satay

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, egg-free, optionally gluten-free, and tree nut-free.

    • For soy-free Thai Chicken Satay, use coconut aminos in place of the soy sauce and soy-free hoisin sauce. In a pinch, you can use the coconut aminos to replace the hoisin sauce, too.
    • For peanut-free Thai Chicken Satay, substitute sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter, omit peanut garnishes, and substitute your favorite cooking oil for the peanut oil.
