Chicken Satay

from Recipes around the world by pokcak

Ingredients

• 400g free range chicken breast fillet
  

Marinade for chicken:

• 2 cloves garlic, pounded finely
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 tbsp olive oil
  

Sauce:

• Ground spice ingredients (combined)
• 3 shallots
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 1/2 tbsp chilli paste
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 tbsp coriander powder
• 1 tbsp chopped galangal
• 2 tbsp oil
  

Seasoning:

• Juice of 2 limes
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• Salt to taste
• 1 tbsp soft brown sugar
• 2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
• 125ml water
• 2 tbsp UHT milk
  

Method

1. Cut chicken fillets into thin strips of 2.5cm slices.
2. Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Place chicken strips in the marinade and stir well so that the strips are well-coated. Place the strips in a plastic container, cover and refrigerate for several hours or preferably overnight.
3. Thread the marinated strips of meat through satay skewers. Arrange the skewers on a heated and oiled grill or barbecue and grill until meat is evenly browned on both sides and cooked through. (if you have a microwave oven, you can grill on high, i.e. Grill (1) for eight to 10 minutes or until evenly browned and cooked through).
4. For the satay sauce, heat oil in a wok and fry the ground ingredients until the oil rises to the top.
5. Add seasoning and water. Bring to a boil, then simmer the mixture until the gravy turns thick. Add the milk and continue to cook for an extra five to six minutes. The sauce is ready for serving.
