Satay Chicken Skewers

Cooking time: 40 mins

SERVES: 6

Ingredients

- 500g boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- 2 tablespoons lime juice

- 2 tablespoons honey

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric

- 1 teaspoon ground coriander

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

- Salt and white pepper to taste

For the peanut sauce:

- 100g peanut butter

- 2 tablespoons soy sauce

- 2 tablespoons lime juice

- 1 tablespoon honey

- 1 clove garlic, minced

- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes 

Method

-Cut the chicken breasts into small, bite-sized pieces and set aside.

-In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable oil, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, ground turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, chili powder (if using), salt, and pepper.

-Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best flavor.

-Preheat the barbecue grill to medium-high heat.

-Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.

-Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.

-While the chicken is grilling, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and chili flakes. Add water gradually to achieve your desired consistency.

-Serve the grilled chicken satay skewers with the peanut sauce on the side.
