Tender chicken on the grill with peanut sauce to dip – I am positive this is a recipe that will be on the whole family’s menu choices once you’ve tried it. These Chicken Satay Skewers are much easier than you might think – an amazing replacement from a weekend takeaway and an impressive choice if you have guests too. If you love curries – and we certainly do – this is another delicious option for feeding your family new flavours and enjoying the same meal together. And any recipe that uses peanut butter has got to be a win, right?! This meal is made up of chicken and a super tasty marinade. There are so many ways to serve this up too – either as a main meal, a barbecue dish or as part of a weekend feast. ✅ It’s an amazing weekend fakeaway ✅ Simple marinade from scratch ✅ Freezes really well for a future quick-win You don’t have to, you can just marinade the meat and then cook the strips. If you are using skewers, bamboo ones are fine, but you need to soak in water for 30 minutes first so that they don’t burn. I like these reusable metal skewers. Yes, no, maybe?! Honestly they will be so flavourful if you can leave them for at least 2 hours. BUT if you need to marinade for less, even half an hour is better than nothing. I serve this with a spring onion and dry roasted peanut garnish, plus boiled rice and a light salad. And the Peanut Sauce, of course! I love to make a slightly Thai-style salad with it, made up of red cabbage, cucumber and carrots, dressed with soy sauce and honey. Yes! I remove the leftover cooked chicken from their skewers, pour over some of the sauce and pop into freezer containers. Then when we’re ready to go again, I defrost them in the fridge overnight and warm them through well in the microwave or gently in a saucepan. I just use a vegetable peeler to make strips of cucumber and carrot, much easier than it looks right?! There’s many versions of chicken satay from various Asian countries, this is my interpretation from the dishes I’ve enjoyed on my travels. You can read more about the dish and find a more in depth version, including delicious fresh lemongrass here: Rasa Malaysia.
