SATAY CHICKEN WITH RESTAURANT STYLE PEANUT SAUCE (INDONESIAN/BALI STYLE)



Satay Chicken with Restaurant Style Peanut Sauce (Indonesian/Bali style) image

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.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 lb / 500g chicken thigh fillets ((skinless and boneless))
2 1/2 tbsp kecap manis ((thick sweet soy sauce - see Note 1))
1 tbsp unsalted butter (, melted)
12 - 14 small bamboo skewers (, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes)
1 tbsp cooking oil ((peanut, canola, vegetable))
2 garlic cloves (, minced)
1 small or 1/2 large onion (, diced (red, brown, yellow or white))
3 birds eye chillis (, sliced (or sub with hot sauce))
1/2 cup peanut butter ((smooth or crunchy))
1 cup coconut milk ((full fat is better, but light is ok))
2 1/2 tbsp kecap manis ((Note 1))
1/2 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup crushed unsalted roasted peanuts ((buy crushed or chop your own))
1 - 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
Crushed peanuts
Lime wedges
Sliced shallots/scallions

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 image

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

  • 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.
