Chicken Satay with peanut sauce (normal recipe)

Ingredients

Chicken:

• 2 chicken breasts (500g) cut into cubes
• 1 tbs soy sauce
• 1 tbs kecap manis
• ¼ tsp cumin
• ¼ tsp ground ginger

Peanut sauce:

• 6 heaped tbs peanut butter
• 1tbs kecap manis
• ¼ c sweet chilli sauce
• 1 tsp chilli flakes ( or to taste)
  
• 2 tbs coconut milk
  
• ½ cup water ( plus extra, if needed)
  
• Handful of peanuts, crushed
  
• Handful of fresh coriander, chopped
  
• Juice of ½ lime

Method

Marinate the chicken:

In a bowl, season the chicken cubes with salt and pepper, soy sauce, kecap manis, cumin, and ginger. Let marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Soak 6 skewers in water while the chicken marinates. Once marinated, thread the chicken cubes onto the skewers.

Make the peanut sauce:

Combine peanut butter, kecap manis, sweet chilli sauce, chilli flakes, coconut milk, and water in a small saucepan. Heat on low, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. Stir in lime juice and set aside.

Cook the chicken:

Heat a griddle pan or BBQ over medium high heat. Cook the chicken skewers for 15 minutes, or until fully cooked, turning occasionally.

Plate and serve:

Reheat the sauce gently if needed, adding a splash of water to adjust consistency. Serve the chicken skewers with the peanut sauce on the side, garnished with crushed peanuts and fresh coriander.
