Satay Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine coconut milk, soy sauce, turmeric powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, minced garlic, minced ginger, minced lemongrass, brown sugar, and salt. Add the chicken breast cut into bite-sized pieces, mix well, and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Skewers

    Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the soaked skewers, leaving some space between each piece to ensure even cooking.

  3. 3

    Grill the Satay

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks.

  4. 4

    Serve with Dipping Sauce

    Serve the chicken satay hot, accompanied by a peanut dipping sauce, rice cakes, and pickled cucumbers on the side.
