Classic Chicken Satay

Satay or sate is widely considered a signature snack of Southeast Asia. Satays are a real flavor bomb of a snack! Our recipe consists of hunks of well-marinated, deeply-spiced chicken skewers, grilled until smoky, savory, and just charred, dipped into a toasty spiced peanut sauce, what’s not to love!

Classic Chicken Satay

SERVES TIME

2 (Makes 1 dozen satays) 45 minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 lb boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
½ Homiah Malaysian Red Curry Kit (there are 2 kits per pouch)
1 tbsp turmeric powder
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp granulated sugar
3 tbsp vegetable oil, or another neutral oil
Peanut Satay Sauce

METHOD

In a bowl, mix the Homiah Malaysian Red Curry Kit, turmeric powder, salt, and sugar together. Add the pieces of chicken thigh in, and mix to make sure all the chicken is fully coated, then put the bowl in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
When ready to cook, take the chicken out, and put them on skewers, with 4-6 pieces of chicken per skewer.
Heat 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil in a large skillet or non-stick pan placed over medium-high heat. Then, cook the satay skewers for 3-5 minutes, until slightly charred, then flip it and cook for another 3-5 minutes until slightly charred too. You might need to cook the satay skewers in batches, make sure not to overcrowd the skillet or pan.
When done, serve immediately with a serving of peanut satay sauce. Enjoy!
