QUICK CHICKEN SATAY
Savory, sweet, and tangy chicken satay, tender, skewered chicken grilled to perfection and served with a rich and flavorful easy homemade peanut sauce. Peanut sauce recipe also available in this post.
Equipment
- 24 bamboo or metal skewers Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 20 minutes before using
Ingredients
Chicken Satay
- 2 ½ to 3 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- ½ cup teriyaki sauce
- 2 teaspoons olive or vegetable oil
- Optional garnish – green onionand/or cilantro
- Optional – cooked noodles or rice for serving
Instructions
- Soak bamboo skewers in water for 20 minutes before using.
- Slice chicken into thin strips (I got six strips from each thigh). Set aside.
- Make marinade by mixing teriyaki sauce and vegetable oil in a bowl.
- Place chicken in bowl with marinade making sure all the chicken is covered. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.
- Thread the strips of chicken onto skewers, filling them only halfway. This allows for a “handle” to turn the skewers as they cook.
- To cook, either grill on your BBQ, indoor grill, or under the broiler.
- These cook quickly so keep your eye on them. Depending on how thick or thin you sliced your chicken they will take between 5 and 15 minutes to cook.
- Serve with peanut sauce garnished with green onion and/or cilantro.
- Serve with noodles or rice, ifdesired.
Notes
If the idea of threading chicken on skewers doesn’t appeal to you, you can simply sauté marinated chicken pieces in vegetable oil and serve over rice or noodles topped with peanut sauce.
