Instructions
For the marinade
Blend all the marinade ingredients, set aside.
Peanut sauce
Blend all the ingredients for the peanut sauce except the chopped roasted peanuts in a food processor until smooth and just runny. Add more water if too thick. Then cook over a medium heat until gently boiling - boil for 3 minutes and then taste.
Use ketcap manis or palm sugar to make it sweeter. Adjust salt and lime to taste. When ready, stir through chopped peanuts for the texture.
Chicken satay
Dice the chicken into 2-3 cm chunks.
In a bowl massage the marinade into the chicken and leave for at least 30 minutes. Overnight is best if you have time.
Skewer chicken pieces onto bamboo skewers.
Using a griddle pan (or on the bbq), cook the chicken over medium heat to ensure it is cooked right through before browning.
Serve the chicken satay with the peanut sauce, shallots, side salad, rice and more lime wedges.
