Chicken Satay with Cucumber Salad
Instructions
  1. Peel the ginger and finely grate it. Repeat with the garlic and lime zest. Add these ingredients into a bowl. Add lime juice with honey, soy sauce, curry powder and peanut butter. Mix well and add a little bit of water if it’s too stiff. Set aside 2/3rd for the sauce.
  2. Place the chicken in a zip-lock bag or in between two plastic wraps. With a rolling pin or a meat mallet, pound the chicken until it’s even and flat. Cut the chicken into strips.
  3. Dip the chicken into the remaining 1/3rd marinade and stir well. Cover the chicken with a plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 hours. Pour the coconut milk into the pan and mix in the 2/3rd marinade that you had set aside. Heat the sauce gently while stirring for a few minutes.
  4. Put the chicken strips on the skewers. Heat the grill at high heat and brush a baking tray with oil. Line up the skewers on the tray and then grill them for about 10 minutes. Turn occasionally, until lightly charred.
  5. Using a peeler, peel the cucumber into ribbons. Mix all the salad ingredients in a bowl and toss in the cucumber ribbons.
  6. Serve chicken satay hot with cucumber salad and some lime wedges.
Recipe Notes

Recipe Tip

Do not skip the pounding step, as it flattens and tenderises the chicken, helping it cook evenly. Use peanut butter at room temperature, as it will mix easily.
