Chicken Satay

We had Chicken Satay at Opus at Koregaon Park, Pune & it was so tasty. I wanted to make Chicken Satay since a long time, so at last I thought of making it. I was very happy with the outcome. It was tender, succulent & tasty.. just like the way I wanted it to be. My family loved it & said it was better than any restaurant. I could’nt wait to share this recipe with all of you. I’m sure you will enjoy making & eating it the way we did…

Ingredients :

· 3 tender Chicken Breasts

· 6 cloves of Garlic (finely chopped)

· 1 tbsp. fresh Ginger (grated)

· 2 tsp. Brown Sugar

· 1 tbsp. Peanut Butter

· 1 tbsp. Lime juice

Method :

In a large bowl, combine the garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, soya sauce, brown sugar, peanut butter, lime juice, sesame oil & salt. Set the marinade aside.

Slice the chicken breasts into long thin strips & flatten it with the knife by putting pressure with help of the bottom of your palm.

Add the chicken strips to the marinade & mix well.

Refrigerate for an hour but preferably overnight.

When ready to cook, pre-heat the oven to 200C.

Thread the chicken strips onto the bamboo skewers, keeping the chicken flat as you can so that they cook evenly.

Grill the chicken skewers for 7 mins on each side.

Baste with remaining marinade & brush with sesame oil from time to time.

Serve hot with peanut dipping sauce.
