Chicken Satay Skewers with a peanut dipping sauce 

So here’s my recipe for my delicious and juicy Chicken Satay Skewers.

Chicken pieces in a delicious garlic, ginger and mild curry marinade , served with a mildly spiced peanut satay dipping sauce.

Totally delicious 

Have you every tried them? If not then I really think you should! 

Great in in the oven, on the BBQ or grill in the summer time too. 

Perfect as a dinner hot or cold in salads – opportunities are endless…. 

 

Satay Chicken Marinade

See the below recipe card for full details but here’s some top tips 

• Grab yourself a plastic container – it really is the easiest way to marinade
• Leave in the fridge for as long as you can – 30 minutes minimum but if you can leave it overnight, even better 

 

Satay Peanut Sauce

See the below recipe card for full details but here’s some top tips 

This is so so simple to make and tastes amazing 🙂

• Peanut Butter 

I used the smooth type of (natural) peanut butter – it tends to be more watery than the more processed stuff. That peanut butter is fine too however you may find you need  to add more liquid maybe (lime juice / coconut milk / water) to get the consistency you like 

• Coconut Milk 

I use the light coconut milk and it works perfectly 

 

How to make Chicken Satay Skewers 

Marinade the chicken 

See the full recipe card at the bottom of the post 

Grab yourself a plastic box or bag and add your marinade ingredients and then your chicken, stir well and cover 

Pop in the fridge for minimum 30 minutes but overnight if you like! 

 

 

Thread the chicken onto Skewers 

Doesn’t matter if you use metal or bamboo skewers. 

If you use the wooden ones, remember to soak in water, so they don’t burn when you’re cooking the chicken 

 

 

I thread 4 large’ish pieces of marinaded chicken onto each skewer (not too tightly as you want then to cook well) 

 

 

Make your Peanut dipping sauce 

Simply add all your ingredients for the peanut sauce  (listed in the recipe card below) to a small pan and heat until just boiling

You will see it start to thicken, once thick remove from the heat 

If you would like it runnier – simply add some more lime juice 

 

 

How to cook your Chicken skewers

I do mine on a baking tray in a hot oven (details in the recipe card) 

Or Grill or BBQ on a hot BBQ for minimum 10 minutes each side (depending on the size of your chicken dice)  

Nice charred bits are good as they really add to the flavour! 

***MAKE sue your chicken is cooked through – you don’t want any pink bits!!*** 

 

What to serve with Satay Chicken Skewers

I like to serve a tray of them with the peanut dipping sauce on the side at a party or BBQ – they really are great on a BBQ 🙂 

As a dinner, I like to serve with a small portion of rice and a crunchy salad, I also add a handful of  crushed peanuts to the salad. Finished with a big handful of coriander and the juice of a lime – So So good 

Warm or cold the chicken is great in salads, sandwiches & wraps.  I tend to cool down any left overs, remove the chicken from the skewers and then chop for salads etc – YUM!!! 

 

Can I store my leftover Chicken Skewers ? 

Yes leftovers can be stored in a sealed airtight container in the fridge for 3 days and the peanut sauce can be stored for the same amount of time. Seal it in it’s own container 

When you remove from the fridge I suggest eating them cold. You can reheat but make sure they are piping hot right through 

I tend to take the meat off the skewers and chill and use in salads, wraps and sandwiches 

So if you have a go, let me know how you get on!
