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
1/4 tsp dried red chili pepper flakes
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.

This sounds really, really good. Thanks for posting that recipe. I’m going to have to try this!
