Steps:
- If you use bamboo skewers, don't forget to soak them for a few hours before you use them. It's to prevent them from getting burned on the grill/ griddle pan.
- Pound the onion and garlic into a paste. You can use a pestle and mortar, or a food processor.
- Then heat the oil in a small frying pan. Add the onion and garlic paste, the ground coriander, black pepper, salt and lime leaves. Cook until the herbs and spices release an aroma. Set aside.
- Put the chicken pieces in a mixing bowl and add in the cooked spices. Mix and stir well until all meat pieces are coated with the spices. Set aside to marinate for at least an hour or two.
- When you are ready to make your Satay, pierce the chicken pieces on the skewers and start grilling them. You can use your oven grill, a griddle pan, or even a barbecue. I find cooking the satay on a griddle pan is effortless and quicker. But I leave the choice to your preference.
- For the peanut sauce:
- Put the peanuts, onion, garlic, salt, sugar, chilli, and water in a blender. Give it a blitz until you get a creamy but a bit grainy peanut mixture.
- Pour the mixture in a small cooking pan/pot and heat it up. When the peanut sauce is boiling, let it simmer for about 5-7 minutes before you turn the heat off. Set aside.
- Assemble Indonesian chicken satay:
- Arrange the skewers on a plate and pour the peanut sauce over the satay. Then drizzle it with sweet soy sauce.

Steps:
- KIDS the writing in bold is for you. GROWN-UPS the rest is for you. Make a yummy marinade. Peel the ginger and help them to finely grate it and tip it into a bowl. Repeat with the garlic and lime zest. Halve the lime and get your child to juice it, then mix it in a bowl with the honey, soy, curry powder and peanut butter. Get them to give it a good mix, adding a small splash of water if it's too stiff, then help them spoon two-thirds of the mix into a small pan. Set aside for Step 4.
- Now for some chicken bashing! Put the chicken in the sandwich bag, one breast at a time, getting your child to flatten each one with a rolling pin or a meat mallet - this isn't essential, but they like doing it.
- Mix the chicken with the marinade you made. Cut the chicken into strips, tip it into the remaining third of the peanut-butter mix, then get your child to stir well. Cover with cling film and chill until required. This can be done up to 3 hrs ahead.
- Cook your tasty sauce. While the chicken is marinating, pour the coconut milk into the pan and get your child to stir together with the peanut butter mix. The sauce needs to be heated gently and stirred - suitable for confident seven- or eight-year olds, under strict adult supervision.
- 'Sew' the chicken onto the skewers. The chicken needs to be threaded into 'S' shapes onto the skewers. Get your child to thread the skewers away from themselves, being careful of the sharp points. Younger ones might find this a little fiddly, so they could just push on small chunks.
- Paint the tray with oil and cook the chicken. Heat the grill to high and get your child to brush a baking tray with oil. They can then line up the skewers on the tray. Grill the skewers for about 10 mins, turning occasionally, until lightly charred.
- Make cucumber ribbons with a peeler. Using a swivel-blade peeler, get your child to peel the cucumber into a bowl, then carry on peeling the cucumber flesh into ribbons until they get to the seeds. Repeat with each side of the cucumber.
- Mix a dressing for the cucumber. Get your child to mix the vinegar and sugar until the sugar dissolves - explain what dissolves means. Add the sweet chilli, if using, then pour over the cucumber. Add coriander if your child likes it, or serve on the side for the grown-ups. To serve, put the skewers on a platter, the sauce and salad in bowls, and serve with rice and lime wedges on the side.

Steps:
- Cut thin (1/4-inch) slices that run the length of the chicken breast (each slice will be 1 inch by 4 inches by 1/4 inch approximately) to get 16 slices.
- If you find it difficult to cut thinly through fresh meat, leave it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to harden slightly and then slice.
- Place the chicken strips in a plastic freezer bag.
- Add all the marinating ingredients and gently toss until well mixed.
- Let the chicken marinate in the fridge for at least 2 to 24 hours.
- 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.
- Baste the chicken with oil or coconut milk and grill on a barbecue or under the broiler.
- Cook for not much more than 2 minutes each side, turning fairly often to prevent unnecessary burning, and baste one more time with oil or coconut milk.
- The satays are done when they have turned golden brown and crispy along the edges.
- Serve on lettuce leaves, decorated with fresh cilantro leaves, and accompanied by a small bowl of Peanut Sauce on the side.
CHICKEN SATAY (SATE AYAM)
Here is the chicken version of satay, where the peanuts are mixed with candlenuts. The dipping sauce is also used as a marinade to give the meat a more intense flavor. The same sauce can also be used with fish.

Steps:
- Soak 14 medium bamboo skewers for 30 minutes in cold water.
- To make the marinade: Put the candlenuts, garlic, chilies, and a little salt in a mortar and grind with a pestle until you have a fine paste-you can also do this in a food processor. Transfer to a bowl. Add the coriander, black pepper, and cayenne and mix well.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the candlenut-garlic mixture and fry until lightly colored, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the peanuts and kecap manis and fry for another couple of minutes. Let cool.
- Prepare a charcoal fire in an outdoor grill or preheat the broiler to high.
- To prepare the satay: Marinate the chicken in the sauce for at least 30 minutes or longer, then scrape the marinade off the chicken before threading it equally onto the skewers. Grill or broil for 3 minutes on each side, or until completely cooked through.
- Meanwhile, scrape the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Add 1/2 cup (125 ml) water and a little more kecap manis (or a little sugar) and bring to a boil over medium heat. Transfer to a small bowl and serve as a dipping sauce with the grilled chicken.
SATAY AYAM (CHICKEN SATAY)
This looks incredible. Another recipe sent to me from my mother (who knows I LOOOOVE ethnic cooking!) I will be posting the katjang (spicy peanut) sauce separately. (Prep time is marinade time). This is an appetizer recipe, so the serving sizes may be small compared to what one would need for a main course.

Steps:
- Combine the garlic, salt and pepper in a deep bowl and mash them to a paste with the back of a spoon.
- Mix in the soy sauce, molasses and lime juice.
- Add the chicken cubes and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread it tightly, 4 or 5 pieces at a time, on small skewers (preferably Oriental wooden skewers about 6 inches (15 cm) long).
- Brush the oil evenly over the chicken.
- Cook over charcoal (traditional) or under the kitchen broiler for 5 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is crisp and brown.
- Serve at once, with the meat still on the skewers, accompanied by katjang sauce presented separately in a bowl.
Tips:
- Use a good quality chicken. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your satay. Look for chicken that is free-range and organic, if possible.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to penetrate the chicken and make it more tender.
- Use a variety of spices in your marinade. This will give your satay a complex and flavorful taste.
- Grill the chicken over medium-high heat. This will help to keep the chicken moist and prevent it from burning.
- Serve the satay with your favorite dipping sauce. A peanut sauce is a classic choice, but you can also try a sweet and sour sauce or a spicy chili sauce.
Conclusion:
Chicken satay is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its succulent chicken, flavorful marinade, and variety of dipping sauces, satay is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty meal, give chicken satay a try. You won't be disappointed!
