Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: For best results, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts. These cuts are tender and flavorful, and they hold up well to being skewered and grilled.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of ketjap manis, soy sauce, and spices helps to infuse it with flavor and make it more tender. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Skewer the chicken: When skewering the chicken, make sure to thread the skewers through the thickest part of the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from falling off the skewers when you're grilling it.
- Grill the chicken: Grill the chicken over medium heat for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it is cooked through. Baste the chicken with the marinade as it cooks to help keep it moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken: Serve the chicken immediately, with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular dipping sauces for chicken satay include peanut sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and hoisin sauce.
Conclusion:
Chicken satay is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet, savory, and slightly spicy flavor, chicken satay is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
