2 Done | If using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them for at least 20 minutes before using to prevent them from burning. |
3 Done | Thread the chicken cubes onto wooden skewers. Place a grill pan over medium heat and brush it with oil. Grill the chicken satay for 3 to 5 minutes per side or until nicely scorch and cooked through. You can also cook these over a BBQ grill. |
4 Done | For the peanut sauce, mix the onions, garlic, ginger and chili and then blend into a paste. Heat the oil in a pan, then add the spice paste and saute for a couple of minutes over very low heat. Add the sugar, lime juice and soy sauce and stir them in. Then add the coconut milk and simmer for about 5 minutes while stirring constantly. Next, add the ground peanuts and peanut butter plus the hot water. Season with salt and stir to combine. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly. Allow to cool, the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools. If it gets too thick, add a bit of hot water and stir. Serve the chicken satay with peanut sauce, some fresh salad or cucumber and onion slices. Enjoy! |
