Instructions

  • Blend all the marinade ingredients together in a food processor, add some water to loosen if required. Place the chicken and marinade into a bowl and stir to coat. Cover the bowl and set the chicken aside to marinate in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, or ideally overnight.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with baking paper.
  • Thread 3-4 pieces of the chicken meat onto the soaked bamboo skewers. Place the chicken skewers onto the baking sheet, place the sheet in the hot oven and cook the chicken skewers for 12-15 minutes until the meat is cooked through and lightly browned.
  • In the meantime, make the satay peanut sauce from the recipe in this library.
  • Serve the chicken skewers with the peanut sauce, sliced cucumber and onion.
