How To Make Chicken Satay:

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken tenders into 2-inch (5cm) pieces and place in a large container.
  2. Make the Marinade: Whisk together yogurt, curry powder, hot sauce, garlic, shallot, ginger, and salt in a small bowl.
  3. Marinate the Chicken: Pour the marinade over the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  4. Soak Skewers: While the chicken marinates, soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning.
  5. Grill the Chicken: Heat a grill pan over medium heat. Remove chicken from the marinade and thread 2 pieces onto each skewer. Grill for 3 to 4 minutes per side until cooked through and marked. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate.
  6. Cook the Peanut Sauce: In a small pot, heat oil and cook curry powder, garlic, shallot, and ginger until soft.
  7. Blend the Sauce: Transfer this mixture to a blender and add peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, hot chili oil, lime juice, and salt. Blend, adding hot water gradually until smooth.
  8. Chill the Sauce: Transfer the peanut sauce to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  9. To Serve: Place a bowl of peanut sauce in the center of a serving plate and arrange the skewers in a circle around it, meat facing inward. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

Recipe Tips

  • Marinate Longer for Flavor: Let the chicken marinate for at least 2 hours. This helps the flavors soak in better, making the chicken more tasty.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh garlic, ginger, and cilantro enhance the dish’s flavor. Always choose fresh over dried when possible.
  • Check Grill Temperature: Make sure your grill pan is at medium heat before cooking. This ensures the chicken cooks evenly and gets nice grill marks.
  • Adjust Sauce Thickness: If the peanut sauce is too thick, add more hot water gradually until you reach your desired consistency. This helps it blend well with the chicken.
  • Garnish for Presentation: Don’t skip the cilantro garnish! It adds color and a fresh taste, making your dish look more appealing.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers

  • Refrigerate: First, let the leftover Chicken Satay cool until it reaches room temperature. Then, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze: You can freeze Chicken Satay for up to 2 months. After freezing, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. This helps maintain the best texture and flavor.
  • Reheating: To reheat Chicken Satay, place it on a grill pan over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes per side until warmed through. Alternatively, use a microwave-safe dish and heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through, until hot.
