CHICKEN SATAY

This recipe is part of Food Editor Barney's 'cooking with kids' series. Here, Barney and his daughter Maisie make chicken skewers with peanut sauce

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Main course

Time 40m

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 16

small piece ginger
2 garlic cloves
zest and juice 1 lime
1 tsp clear honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp mild curry powder
3 tbsp smooth peanut butter
500g pack skinless chicken breast fillets
165ml can coconut milk
1 tsp vegetable oil
cooked rice and lime wedges, to serve
1 cucumber
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
sweet chilli sauce (optional)
bunch coriander leaves picked (optional)

Steps:

  • KIDS the writing in bold is for you. GROWN-UPS the rest is for you. Make a yummy marinade. Peel the ginger and help them to finely grate it and tip it into a bowl. Repeat with the garlic and lime zest. Halve the lime and get your child to juice it, then mix it in a bowl with the honey, soy, curry powder and peanut butter. Get them to give it a good mix, adding a small splash of water if it's too stiff, then help them spoon two-thirds of the mix into a small pan. Set aside for Step 4.
  • Now for some chicken bashing! Put the chicken in the sandwich bag, one breast at a time, getting your child to flatten each one with a rolling pin or a meat mallet - this isn't essential, but they like doing it.
  • Mix the chicken with the marinade you made. Cut the chicken into strips, tip it into the remaining third of the peanut-butter mix, then get your child to stir well. Cover with cling film and chill until required. This can be done up to 3 hrs ahead.
  • Cook your tasty sauce. While the chicken is marinating, pour the coconut milk into the pan and get your child to stir together with the peanut butter mix. The sauce needs to be heated gently and stirred - suitable for confident seven- or eight-year olds, under strict adult supervision.
  • 'Sew' the chicken onto the skewers. The chicken needs to be threaded into 'S' shapes onto the skewers. Get your child to thread the skewers away from themselves, being careful of the sharp points. Younger ones might find this a little fiddly, so they could just push on small chunks.
  • Paint the tray with oil and cook the chicken. Heat the grill to high and get your child to brush a baking tray with oil. They can then line up the skewers on the tray. Grill the skewers for about 10 mins, turning occasionally, until lightly charred.
  • Make cucumber ribbons with a peeler. Using a swivel-blade peeler, get your child to peel the cucumber into a bowl, then carry on peeling the cucumber flesh into ribbons until they get to the seeds. Repeat with each side of the cucumber.
  • Mix a dressing for the cucumber. Get your child to mix the vinegar and sugar until the sugar dissolves - explain what dissolves means. Add the sweet chilli, if using, then pour over the cucumber. Add coriander if your child likes it, or serve on the side for the grown-ups. To serve, put the skewers on a platter, the sauce and salad in bowls, and serve with rice and lime wedges on the side.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 131 g, Fat 8 g, Protein 14 g

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for the satay. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked through: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure to use a flavorful combination of ingredients. Some popular options include soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and lemongrass.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from burning and will allow it to cook evenly.
  • Serve the chicken with a dipping sauce: Satay is traditionally served with a peanut sauce, but you can also use other dipping sauces such as hoisin sauce or sweet and sour sauce.

Conclusion:

Chicken satay is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that will impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a tasty and unique appetizer, give chicken satay a try.
