Chicken Satay

I always use chicken thighs as they are juicier, but feel free to use breast meat if you prefer. You can use the same marinade and sauce with beef steak if you prefer beef satay.

Method

  1. To make the marinade, place all the ingredients for the marinade into a food processor and blend well to make a smooth paste.
  2. Chop the chicken into small pieces.  Place in a bowl and pour the marinade over.  Stir well to combine, then leave to marinade for at least two hours, but ideally overnight.
  3. Meanwhile make the sauce. Place all the ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Remove from the heat as soon as it starts to simmer, and reserve until needed. (This will last for a week in the fridge)
  4. When you are ready to cook the satay, pre–heat the oven to 190C. Place the skewers onto a baking tray and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until it is cooked through.
