Satay, you say?

Yum!

The other night I had a hankering for chicken satay, so I looked up a recipe for the marinade and several hours later we had a tasty dinner.  We ate them so fast that I forgot to take a photo.

So, I made them again tonight (making sure got get a photo this time) and they were even better.   The peanut sauce is a *must have* to dip them in.  You can make your own peanut sauce, or buy some… we had some on hand, so we didn’t have to make it this time.  We have a little hibachi charcoal grill out back which is just perfect for cooking these.

Here’s the recipe, in case you want to try it as well:

Chicken Satay

Serves 2. Marinate 4-24 hours.  Grill 5-6 minutes.  Medium heat on grill.

1 lb. chicken breast tenderloins, or breasts that are boned, skinned & sliced into long strips

MARINADE:
2 cloves garlic, pressed
1/4 tsp dried red chili pepper flakes
1 1/2″ fresh gingerroot, grated
1 lime, juice
1 tsp. coriander
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. turmeric
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. salt

Peanut oil

Place chicken pieces in dish. Combine marinade ingredients and rub into meat. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 24 hours.  If your skewers are combustible, don’t forget to soak them in water ahead of time!  Thread meat onto skewers. Brush meat with peanut oil just before cooking.  Grill 2-3 minutes on each side.  Serve immediately with peanut sauce.
