SATAY CHICKEN WITH RESTAURANT STYLE PEANUT SAUCE (INDONESIAN/BALI STYLE)
Though Satay Chicken is better known as Thai or Malaysian food, it actually originated from Indonesia and the Indonesian version is by far the simplest. The Peanut Sauce is my own - refer to the notes for why I prefer this to the authentic version. It is thick so it is great for dolloping, rather than a thin dipping sauce. Satay Chicken is fabulous for outdoor BBQ's, parties and for fast midweek meals! They also reheat really well in the microwave. They can be cooked on the outdoor grill, on the stove or under the grill/broiler.

Steps:
- Cut the chicken into 1.5cm/0.5" cubes. Thread onto skewers - 4 to 5 pieces per skewer.
- Combine kecap manis and butter, then brush onto chicken.
- Cook the skewers on a hot BBQ (outdoor grill) or on the stove in a large non stick fry pan (add a splash of oil, and make sure the skewers will fit in the pan). Grill/broiler would also work.
- Serve, garnished with crushed peanuts, shallots and with lime wedges and Peanut Sauce on the side.
- Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Add garlic, onion and chillis and cook for 3 minutes until onion is translucent.
- Turn heat down to medium, then add peanut butter, coconut milk, kecap manis, soy sauce and salt. Simmer for 10 minutes, whisking occasionally.
- Use a handheld stick to puree (so the onion and chilli blends throughout the sauce - this is key). (See Note 2 for blending instructions) Stir through crushed peanuts and lime juice and simmer for 2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving or to room temperature - it will thicken.

GRILLED CHICKEN AND MANGO SKEWERS
The inspiration for this recipe came from the charbroiled chicken skewers I used to enjoy while strolling along Calle Ocho in Miami on Sunday afternoons. Feel free to garnish with sesame seeds or spritz with fresh lime juice. -Wolfgang Hanau, West Palm Beach, Florida

Tips:
- Use high-quality chicken: Opt for free-range or organic chicken thighs for better flavor and texture.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in ketjap manis and spices for at least 30 minutes tenderizes it and infuses it with flavor.
- Skewer the chicken properly: Make sure to skewer the chicken pieces tightly to prevent them from falling off during cooking.
- Grill the chicken over medium heat: Grilling the chicken over medium heat prevents it from burning and allows it to cook evenly.
- Baste the chicken with the ketjap manis sauce: Basting the chicken with the ketjap manis sauce during cooking keeps it moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Serve the chicken with rice, noodles, or vegetables for a complete meal.
