Chicken Satay Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Marinate the Chicken

   In a bowl, combine the chicken breast pieces, lemongrass, ginger, shallots, soy sauce, curry powder, turmeric, coconut milk, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.

2. 2

   Prepare the Skewers

   If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers.

3. 3

   Make the Peanut Dipping Sauce

   In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, honey, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more coconut milk if necessary.

4. 4

   Make the Pickles

   Slice the cucumber thinly and place it in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Pour this mixture over the cucumber and let it sit for at least 30 minutes.

5. 5

   Cook the Skewers

   Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the chicken skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred.

6. 6

   Serve

   Serve the chicken satay hot with the peanut dipping sauce and house-made pickles on the side.
