INDONESIAN CHICKEN SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl add the sliced chicken, kecap manis and melted butter. Mix well to coat. Cover and place in the fridge to marinate for about 30 minutes.
• Soak bamboo skewers in water while the chicken is marinating.
• While the chicken is marinating make the peanut sauce by adding to a small bowl the peanut butter, coconut milk, additional kecap manis, garlic, lime juice, brown sugar and chili flakes. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
• After the chicken has had time to marinate thread the chicken pieces tightly onto the skewers. Discard the water that the skewers were soaking in.
• Heat the barbecue or grill to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grill. Place the chicken satay skewers on the grill for about 10 minutes per side basting with the remaining marinade each time to coat. Continue to cook turning occasionally and basting until the chicken is cooked and no longer pink in the centre and the internal temperature reaches 160F.
• Remove the chicken from the grill and serve alongside the peanut sauce for dipping.

SATAY CHICKEN WITH RESTAURANT STYLE PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the chicken into 1.5cm/0.5" cubes. Thread onto skewers - 4 to 5 pieces per skewer. Combine kecap manis and butter, then brush onto chicken. Cook the skewers on a hot BBQ (outdoor grill) or on the stove in a large non stick fry pan (add a splash of oil, and make sure the skewers will fit in the pan). Grill/broiler would also work. Serve, garnished with crushed peanuts, shallots and with lime wedges and Peanut Sauce on the side. Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium high heat. Add garlic, onion and chillis and cook for 3 minutes until onion is translucent. Turn heat down to medium, then add peanut butter, coconut milk, kecap manis and soy sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes, whisking occasionally. Use a handheld stick to puree (so the onion and chilli blends throughout the sauce - this is key). (See Note 2 for blending instructions) Stir through crushed peanuts and lime juice and simmer for 2 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before serving or to room temperature - it will thicken.
