Chicken Satays with Spicy Peanut Butter Sauce

* Before I start, I just want to apologise for the lack of photos on this particular recipe.

I didn’t have my handy man to help me out and I had to cook the satays, sauce and rice on the stove all at once by myself so I didn’t have time to take many photos – this is definitely a two person operation.

Satay Method:

Add the marinade ingredients and mix all together. Cover with glad wrap and place in the fridge for 1 hour.

2) After that hours up; pull the marinading chicken out of the fridge and place roughly 5-6 pieces of chicken on each skewer. Wrap foil around the ends of each skewer so that the wood doesn’t burn.

 

3) Place skewers under the grill on medium-high heat for 5 minutes, turn the skewers over and grill for another 5 minutes.

1.5x heaped tblspns of Smooth Peanut Butter

1x normal tblspn of Crunchy Peanut Butter

Sauce Method:

1) Mince garlic and cook for roughly 1 minute with margarine in a large-wide pan on medium-high heat.

 

2) Add the sambal oeleck and sugar then stir until dissolved. Next add both kinds of peanut butter and stir to melt the peanut butter.

 

3) Add the kecap manis and lemon - after the peanut butter is half melted - stir well.

Then add the water – only small amounts at a time – stir in between.

The mixture should be smooth and somewhat thick.

If the mixture is gluggy, add another ¼ cup of water and stir until you get the right consistency.

 

Serve with satays and rice.

The sauce is fantastic mixed into the rice and spread over the satays.

I absolutely love this recipe, it is sooooo delicious!

From experience - It’s a lot quicker and easier to make with two people than if you try to make it by yourself.

 

It’s better the first night, but it doesn’t taste too bad when reheated the next day. :)
