Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag, combine coconut milk, coconut aminos, ginger, fish sauce, 3 cloves minced garlic, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper. Add chicken pieces, squeeze out the air, and seal the bag. Massage chicken to coat with marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator, turning the bag occasionally, for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.

02

Step

About 1 hour before cooking the chicken, combine teriyaki sauce, cashew butter, orange juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl; tightly cover. Refrigerate sauce to allow flavors to meld.

03

Step

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

04

Step

Thread chicken pieces onto skewers using a skewer accessory rack; place on the rack.

05

Step

Place the rack in the air fryer basket; air fry for 8 minutes. Carefully turn skewers. Continue air frying 8 minutes more. Repeat with remaining skewers as needed.

06

Step

Sprinkle cashews over dipping sauce. Place skewers on rice, garnish with cilantro, and serve immediately with the dipping sauce.

For best results, marinate the chicken overnight to allow the flavors to fully penetrate.
If you don't have coconut aminos, you can substitute with soy sauce, but reduce the amount slightly to avoid overpowering the other flavors.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper in the dipping sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
Serve with a side of fresh vegetables, such as sliced cucumbers and carrots, for a refreshing contrast to the rich satay.
