Chicken Satay instructions

1. First step is to make the marinade. Peel the garlic, ginger, small onions and chop finely. In a blender, add the ginger, garlic, small onions, coriander stems, lemongrass, peanut butter, soy sauce, turmeric powder, cumin powder and chilli powder. Blend into a fine paste with 3 tbsp oil. Do not add water to the paste. Season with salt and transfer half to a large bowl. Reserve the remaining half for making the dipping sauce..
2. Wash and clean the chicken pieces. Using thigh and leg meat is more flavorful than using breast meat. Place the chicken in the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate overnight..
3. Meanwhile, make the satay sauce. In a small sauce pan, add a little oil. Once the oil heats up, add the reserved marinade, peanut butter, chilli paste, kecap manis, lime juice, sugar and salt. Let it come to a simmer. Taste and adjust accordingly. It should thicken up. Remove from heat and keep warm..
4. Once the skewers have soaked in water for a minimum of one hour, thread the chicken pieces into the skewers tightly leaving no gap between the pieces..
5. Preheat the oven and cook the skewers at 200°C for 20 minutes, turning midway. Baste with oil midway..
6. Grill the skewers on a coal barbecue. This method gives a nice char and a coal infused flavor. Baste with oil midway..
7. Heat oil in a griddle pan, lay the skewers and cook till done. Turn till both sides have burnt char marks on them. Baste with oil midway.
8. Serve as an appetizer with dipping sauce and a cucumber tomato salad..
