Indonesian Chicken Sate With Peanut Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine chicken thighs, 3/4 teaspoon salt, white pepper, and sunflower seed oil in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• Soak wooden skewers in water to prevent burning during cooking.
• Bring water, peanut butter, kecap manis, brown sugar, garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil in a small saucepan; stir to combine. Remove from heat and add lime juice.
• Thread marinated chicken onto skewers. Set about 2 tablespoons peanut sauce aside in a small bowl and brush the sauce in the bowl over chicken.
• Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Arrange chicken skewers in batches on grill pan and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Serve skewers with remaining peanut sauce from the saucepan.

Steps:

• With meat mallet or bottom of heavy saucepan, pound each chicken breast half to 1/2-inch thickness between two pieces of waxed paper.
• Cut breast lengthwise into 1-inch wide strips. In bowl or plastic storage bag, place chicken and remaining ingredients. Mix well.
• Cover and refrigerate at least two hours, stirring or turning bag occasionally (the longer the marinating time the spicier the chicken).
• Thread chicken strips on metal or bamboo skewers. If using bamboo skewers, soak in water to prevent charring when broiling. Brush generously with marinade.
• Broil or grill 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until chicken is done and tender, brushing with marinade frequently. Serve hot with Peanut Sauce.
• To make the Peanut Sauce:
• In small bowl, whisk peanut butter into hot water.
• Add remaining ingredients and whisk until smooth.
• Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
• Bring to room temperature before serving.

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix soy sauce, tomato sauce, peanut oil, garlic, black pepper, and cumin. Place chicken into the mixture, and stir to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, but not overnight. This will make the meat too dark.
• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat, and saute onion and garlic until lightly browned. Mix in water, peanut butter, soy sauce, and sugar. Cook and stir until well blended. Remove from heat, mix in lemon juice, and set aside.
• Lightly oil the grill grate. Thread chicken onto skewers, and discard marinade. Grill skewers about 5 minutes per side, until chicken juices run clear. Serve with the peanut sauce.
