Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Marinade

To ensure your chicken satay is flavorful and juicy, you need to marinate the chicken properly.

Ingredients for Marinade

• 1 kg chicken breast
• 4 cloves garlic
• 2 large red onions
• 2 stalks lemongrass
• 1 inch ginger
• 1 inch fresh turmeric (or ½ tbsp turmeric powder)
• 1 tbsp coriander seeds
• 1 tsp fennel seeds
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 piece palm sugar
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup cooking oil
• 2 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Blend Ingredients: In a blender, combine garlic, red onions, lemongrass, ginger, turmeric, coriander seeds, fennel seeds, cumin seeds, palm sugar, and salt. Blend until smooth.
2. Marinate Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and mix it with the blended marinade. Allow it to marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 2: Prepare the Satay Baste

The baste adds flavor and moisture to the chicken satay while grilling.

Ingredients for Baste

• ½ cup cooking oil
• 2 tbsp coconut milk
• ¼ cup chicken marinade
• ½ tbsp sugar
• A little water
• 1 stalk lemongrass (pounded)

Instructions

1. Mix Baste Ingredients: In a bowl, combine cooking oil, coconut milk, chicken marinade, sugar, and a little water. Add the pounded lemongrass.
2. Set Aside: Keep this mixture ready for basting while grilling.

Step 3: Prepare the Peanut Sauce

A rich and creamy peanut sauce is essential for serving with satay.

Ingredients for Peanut Sauce

• 300g roasted peanuts
• 6-8 dried chilies
• 3 cloves garlic
• 4 small shallots
• 1 inch ginger
• 2 stalks lemongrass
• ½ inch galangal
• 1 tbsp dried shrimp
• Approximately 3 cups water
• A little tamarind juice
• 1 piece palm sugar
• 3 tbsp sweet soy sauce
• Sugar to taste
• Salt to taste
• ½ cup coconut milk (optional)

Instructions

1. Blend Sauce Ingredients: In a blender, combine roasted peanuts, dried chilies, garlic, shallots, ginger, lemongrass, galangal, and dried shrimp with enough water to blend smoothly.
2. Cook Sauce: Pour the blended mixture into a pot. Add more water as needed to reach your desired consistency. Stir in tamarind juice, palm sugar, sweet soy sauce, and season with sugar and salt. Optionally, add coconut milk for creaminess.
3. Simmer: Cook the sauce over low heat for about 15-20 minutes until thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Skewer and Grill the Chicken

Now that your chicken and sauce are ready, it's time to skewer and grill the chicken.

Instructions

1. Skewer Chicken: Thread the marinated chicken pieces onto the satay skewers.
2. Preheat Grill: Heat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat.
3. Baste While Grilling: As you grill the skewers, baste them with the prepared baste mixture. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.

Step 5: Serve with Accompaniments

To create a complete satay meal, serve with traditional accompaniments.
