Indonesian Chicken Skewers with Peanut Sauce (Satay Ayam) image

I'm Indonesian but I live in Spain. I'd like to share with you my recipe of satay ayam. It has helped me a lot to overcome my homesickness. I hope this dish will be one of your favorite Asian dishes. You will not be able to resist the sweet and salty taste of the peanut sauce!

Time 1h40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound chicken thighs, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
¾ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground white pepper
1 tablespoon sunflower seed oil
24 wooden skewers
1 cup water
5 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
1 tablespoon brown sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lime juice

Steps:

  • Combine chicken thighs, 3/4 teaspoon salt, white pepper, and sunflower seed oil in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  • Soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during cooking.
  • Bring water, peanut butter, kecap manis, brown sugar, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan; stir to combine. Remove from heat and add lime juice.
  • Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Set about 2 tablespoons peanut sauce aside in a small bowl and brush the sauce in the bowl over chicken.
  • Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange chicken skewers in batches on grill pan and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve skewers with remaining peanut sauce from the saucepan.
