Called "Satay Ayam" in Malaysian language, any real foodies who have been to the entire Southeast Asia region will agree they are the best! There's satay, and then there's real satay. If you've never had the real stuff, then you'll fall in love with the succulent taste of this special Thai satay recipe. Strips of chicken or beef are marinated in a special Thai paste—unless you go with the vegetarian version —then skewered and grilled or broiled in the oven.
Steps to make Chicken Satay:
- First step is to make the marinade. Peel the garlic, ginger, small onions and chop finely. In a blender, add the ginger, garlic, small onions, coriander stems, lemongrass, peanut butter, soy sauce, turmeric powder, cumin powder and chilli powder. Blend into a fine paste with 3 tbsp oil. Do not add water to the paste. Season with salt and transfer half to a large bowl. Reserve the remaining half for making the dipping sauce.
- Wash and clean the chicken pieces. Using thigh and leg meat is more flavorful than using breast meat. Place the chicken in the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate overnight.
- Meanwhile, make the satay sauce. In a small sauce pan, add a little oil. Once the oil heats up, add the reserved marinade, peanut butter, chilli paste, kecap manis, lime juice, sugar and salt. Let it come to a simmer. Taste and adjust accordingly. It should thicken up. Remove from heat and keep warm.
- Once the skewers have soaked in water for a minimum of one hour, thread the chicken pieces into the skewers tightly leaving no gap between the pieces.
- Preheat the oven and cook the skewers at 200°C for 20 minutes, turning midway. Baste with oil midway.
- Grill the skewers on a coal barbecue. This method gives a nice char and a coal infused flavor. Baste with oil midway.
- Heat oil in a griddle pan, lay the skewers and cook till done. Turn till both sides have burnt char marks on them. Baste with oil midway
- Serve as an appetizer with dipping sauce and a cucumber tomato salad.
When ready to cook the satays, stir chicken in its marinade and then thread each slice onto a skewer, working the skewer in and out of the meat, down the middle of the slice, so that it stays in place during grilling. Of course, chicken skewers can be delicious when done right, with this chicken satay being a prime example. The sweet, pungent marinade for these chicken satays includes fish sauce, lemongrass, sugar, lime, and turmeric, which embeds the chicken with flavor even after a relatively short soak of only an hour. To make the peanut sauce, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, chili garlic sauce and ginger in a small bowl. Chicken satay is a summertime favourite to cook on the BBQ.
