The weather is starting to get consistently warmer and that means many of us are firing up our barbecues for the first time this year. Here’s a recipe to kick off barbecue season with something other than burgers not that there’s anything wrong with a burger. It’s a fairly simple recipe that does not require much skill or time. It’s BBQ Chicken satay with spicy peanut sauce.
Chicken Satay is a dish that originate in Indonesia but quickly filtered out to other Asian countries like Thailand and the Philippines. Satay is usually served with a Spicy Peanut sauce and one day playing around in the pantry I came up with my own. It’ll kick off barbecue season with a literal kick! Last week I have Presented another chicken based Colonel Fried chicken Recipes.
Ingredients : Chicken Satay With Spicy Peanut Sauce
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1.5 tbsp Honey
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp siracha
- 1 lime zest and juice
- 1/4 cup water (just added to the lime zest and juice)
- 3-4 chicken breasts cut into 1 inch cubes
- skewers
Instructions
- If you have wood skewers, soak them for about 30 minutes before cook time
- Mix together the ingredients in a bowl (except the chicken)
- Put some of the sauce aside for dipping later
- Place the Chicken into a seal-able bag and cover with the sauce, marinate for 4-5 hours or overnight
- Once you’re ready to cook, preheat the barbecue or grill to 425F or medium level
- Place the meat onto the skewers and cover the ends of the skewers with tin foil to prevent burning
- Place the Satay or Kebabs on the grill and cook for approximately 15 minutes, turning roughly every 5 minutes.
- The Satay should be done when the sauce is lightly caramelized and the inside of the chicken is white
- Enjoy!
As you can see in the picture, I served this with grilled corn. If you’re lucky I may share my Mexican street corn recipe. Don’t forget to comment on the recipes you like and click the Yum button to share to Yummly or to your recipe box!
