Method
1
Blend all the ingredients for the satay spices in a food processor until they reach a fine, smooth paste. Set aside three tablespoons of spice mix to make the peanut sauce
2
Place the remaining spice mixture in a container and add the chicken pieces. Leave to marinate for at least four hours or overnight.
3
Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan (including three tablespoons of spice paste you have reserved) and bring it to a boil. Over medium-high heat, bring the sauce to a boil. Stirring every so often to avoid it sticking at the bottom. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes. Set aside
4
The skewers should be soaked in water for a minimum of 10 minutes. The chicken pieces should be skewered onto the skewers in 6 pieces each.
5
You can cook the skewers on a flat-top griddle, a grill heated to high, or even a barbecue. The skewers should be turned frequently so each side is charred for about 5 minutes or until the chicken has cooked.
6
Serve with freshly chopped cucumber and red onions, and peanut sauce
