Grilled Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce

Grilled chicken recipes often come out beautifully and this grilled chicken satay recipe is a fine example. The wonderful sticky sauce is ideal for basting the chicken and you can serve the sauce on the side too, so people can add more.

Just make sure you keep the basting sauce and dipping sauces separate. The lime is a great garnish and its tang cuts nicely through the sweet flavor of the sauce, adding another dimension to the overall flavor. Homemade chicken satay recipes are always really special.

Sweet and Spicy Chicken Satay with Lime

Ingredients -

¼ cup soy sauce
½ cup unsweetened peanut butter
½ cup water
1 green onion, sliced, to garnish
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¾ teaspoon ground ginger
2 tablespoons brown sugar
Non-stick cooking spray
3 tablespoons lemon juice
4 cloves garlic, pressed
Lime wedges to garnish

Preparation:

Cook the soy sauce, water, peanut butter, lemon juice, garlic, ginger, red pepper and sugar over a medium heat for a minute in a pan.

Cool the sauce, remove the garlic and discard it.

Divide the sauce between 2 dishes.

Cut the chicken into 1 inch strips and thread them on to metal skewers.

If you are using bamboo skewers, soak them for 30 minutes beforehand.

Oil the grid on your grill with a non-stick cooking spray and heat it to medium hot.

Grill the chicken, covered, for about 7 minutes, turning it once.

Baste with half the sauce during cooking and serve with the remaining sauce on the side, garnished with the sliced scallions. Serve with the lime wedges.
