1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons fish sauce (optional, but adds great depth of flavor)
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
12-16 wooden skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
For the Peanut Butter Dipping Sauce:

2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions:
Marinate the Chicken:
In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, rice vinegar, vegetable oil, turmeric, coriander, cumin, garlic powder, ginger powder, and red pepper flakes.
Add the chicken cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for more flavor).
Prepare the Peanut Butter Dipping Sauce:
In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or brown sugar), lime juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes.
Gradually add water to achieve your desired consistency. Set aside.
Assemble and Cook the Skewers:
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated chicken onto the soaked skewers.
Grill the skewers for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.
Serve:
Serve the chicken satay skewers hot with the peanut butter dipping sauce on the side.
