Method
For the Chicken Skewers
Step 1
For the skewers place all of the ingredients into a food processor and blitz until a paste forms. Put the diced chicken into a bowl and pour the marinade over the chicken, mixing to coat the chicken. Place in the fridge and marinate for at least two hours.
Step 2
Set the the barbecue on medium heat and evenly distribute the chicken onto the skewers. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4mins on each side. Let them rest for a couple of minutes.
For the Peanut Satay Sauce
Step 1
To make the satay sauce, add all ingredients to a blender. Blend until smooth. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more sugar for sweetness, lime juice for acidity, or soy sauce for saltiness. If you want the sauce thinner, drizzle in more water just a teaspoon at a time.
Step 2
Serve skewers with cucumber, peanut sauce and coriander leaves. Enjoy!
