Grilled Indonesian Chicken Satay Recipes

Steps:

• Soak 14 medium bamboo skewers for 30 minutes in cold water.
• To make the marinade: Put the candlenuts, garlic, chilies, and a little salt in a mortar and grind with a pestle until you have a fine paste-you can also do this in a food processor. Transfer to a bowl. Add the coriander, black pepper, and cayenne and mix well.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the candlenut-garlic mixture and fry until lightly colored, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the peanuts and kecap manis and fry for another couple of minutes. Let cool.
• Prepare a charcoal fire in an outdoor grill or preheat the broiler to high.
• To prepare the satay: Marinate the chicken in the sauce for at least 30 minutes or longer, then scrape the marinade off the chicken before threading it equally onto the skewers. Grill or broil for 3 minutes on each side, or until completely cooked through.
• Meanwhile, scrape the leftover marinade into a small saucepan. Add 1/2 cup (125 ml) water and a little more kecap manis (or a little sugar) and bring to a boil over medium heat. Transfer to a small bowl and serve as a dipping sauce with the grilled chicken.

Steps:

• Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
• Thread chicken or pork onto skewers.
• Season both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
• Mix sweet soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, oyster sauce oil together and set aside.
• Grill chicken or pork on the BBQ, basting with the sauce as you cook the meat.

Steps:

• Put wooden skewers in a shallow dish and cover with water. Let soak for 20 minutes.
• Place chicken strips into a bowl. Combine soy sauce, tomato sauce, peanut oil, garlic, pepper, and cumin in a small bowl; mix to combine. Pour over chicken strips and mix so chicken is well coated on all sides. Marinate for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the peanut sauce. Add 1 tablespoon oil to a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add peanut butter, sugar, soy sauce, and water. Mix well. Cook until sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and remove from heat.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Thread each chicken strip onto a skewer.
• Place skewers on the preheated grill and cook for a total of 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking. Serve the satay skewers immediately with the peanut sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• For the satay: Cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes.
• Whisk together the soy sauce, oil, salt, cumin, if using, fennel, if using, and garlic in a medium bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat the chicken in the marinade. Cover and marinate, refrigerated, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
• For the peanut sauce: Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, coconut milk, brown sugar, salt, garlic and 1 cup water to a high-powered blender and blend until combined.
• Add 2 tablespoons water to the bottom of a medium saucepan, add the blended sauce and cook over medium heat, stirring, until bubbling. Continue to simmer, stirring and adding a little water if the sauce gets too thick, 3 to 4 more minutes. Set aside.
• For the sweet soy dipping sauce: Whisk together the soy sauce, cilantro, salt, pepper, chile, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl until combined.
• Prepare a grill or grill pan for high heat. Brush the grill with oil
• Thread about 4 chicken cubes onto each skewer. Grill the skewers until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes per side; be careful not to let them burn.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix soy sauce, tomato sauce, peanut oil, garlic, black pepper, and cumin. Place chicken into the mixture, and stir to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, but not overnight. This will make the meat too dark.
• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and saute onion and garlic until lightly browned. Mix in water, peanut butter, soy sauce, and sugar. Cook and stir until well blended. Remove from heat, mix in lemon juice, and set aside.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Thread chicken onto skewers, and discard marinade. Grill skewers about 5 minutes per side, until chicken juices run clear. Serve with the peanut sauce.
