GRILLED INDONESIAN CHICKEN SATAY



Grilled Indonesian Chicken Satay image

This recipe was given to me by my neighbour who is one of the nicest people I know. She is originally from Indonesia and moved to Canada a few years ago. I am guessing at serving sizes, and cooking times so please adjust amounts to what you think you need. I am also guessing at the amount of oil added to the basting sauce as I was told just to add a little oil to make it easier to baste with. You may need more basting sauce depending on how much you put on while cooking and I would double or triple the sauce if you have more than a pound of meat.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chicken: A free-range or organic chicken will have a better flavor than a conventionally raised chicken.
  • Marinate the chicken overnight: This will help the chicken to absorb the flavors of the marinade and make it more tender.
  • Use a hot grill: A hot grill will help to sear the chicken and prevent it from sticking.
  • Cook the chicken over indirect heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the chicken to retain its juices and make it more tender.
