Chicken Satay

While searching for recipes for satay, I came across another @ Rasa Malaysia for chicken satay. So, why not? I tried the recipe out. It was also delicious!

I am repeating the recipe for easier reference.

1 kg boneless and skinless chicken, cut into bit sizes

Bamboo skewers (soaked in water)

oil for basting

Chicken Marinade :

3 tbsps oil

2 stalks lemongrass

2 cloves garlic, peeled

6 small shallots, peeled

2 tsps tumeric powder

1 tsp coriander powder

1 tsp chili powder

1/2 tbsp salt (adjust to taste)

2 tbsps sugar or honey

METHOD

1. Cut the chicken in the bite sizes. Set aside

2. Bland all the Marinade ingredients in food processor. Add water if needed.

3. Combine chicken and marinade together, stir to mix well. Marinate chicken for 6 hours in the fridge or best overnight. When ready, thread 3-4 pieces of the chicken meat onto the bamboo skewers.

4. Grill the chicken satay skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side until the meat is fully cooked and the surface is nicely charred on both sides. Baste and brush with some oil while grilling. Serve hot with peanut sauce, fresh cucumber pieces and onions.
