Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce (40 mins)

Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

Ingredients (Make about 6 sticks):

• Chicken meat, 1 pound (boneless, I used chicken fingers breast meat. You can use thigh meat too)
• Soy sauce, 1 tsp
• Ginger, 3 slices
• Garlic, 1 clove
• Chicken powder, 1 tsp
• Cooking oil, 1 tsp
• Bamboo skewers, about 6 or 7 sticks (or you can use the metal skewers)

Peanut sauce:

• Chunky peanut butter, 1 cup
• Brown sugar, 2 Tbsp
• Hot chili sauce, 1 tsp
• Garlic, 2 cloves, finely chopped
• Honey, 3 Tbsp
• Soy sauce, 1 Tbsp
• Hot water, ½ cup
• Lime, 1

Pickled Cucumber (Optional):

• Cucumber, 1
• Vinegar, 1 Tbsp
• Sugar, 1 Tbsp
• Salt, a dash
• Water, 2 Tbsp

Steps:

1. If you are using the bamboo skewers, soak them in water first.  They will not get burnt.
2. Finely chop 1 clove of garlic and ginger.  Put both in a big mixing bowl.
3. 1 tsp of soy sauce, 1 tsp of chicken powder into the bowl.
4. Cut chicken into cubes like 1.5 inches.  Put the chicken cubes into the mixing bowl.  Mix them well with the seasoning.  Add a tsp of cooling oil to the mixture.  Mix it well.  Cover the mixing bowl with a lid or plastic wrap, and let it marinated in the fridge for at least 20 mins.  I also tried the lazy person’s version of not cutting the chicken at all, ie just put the whole piece on a stick. They didn’t cook as nice as the ones that are cut.  See the picture.
5. Prepare the pickled cucumber if you are getting fancy:  Peel the cucumber, remove big seeds if there are any.  Cut cucumber into small cubes like 2 cm long.  Add vinegar, sugar, water, and a pinch of salt to the cucumber. Mix them well.  Let it get marinated for at least 20 mins in a refrigerator.
6. Prepare the sauce: mix all the sauce ingredients in a small serving bowl.  Cut the lime in halves and squeeze the juice in.  Mix it well.
7. When the chicken is marinated.  Put chicken cubes in the skewers.
8. Start the grill.  Cook the chicken for 5 -7 minutes on one side.  Flip it over to cook the other side for another 5-7 minutes or until it is fully cooked.
9. Serve hot with the peanut sauce.
