-
3.Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
-
4.Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked wooden skewers.
-
5.Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred.
-
6.Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
-
7.Serve the Brazilian-style Satay hot with a side of Brazilian salsa or chimichurri sauce.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Chicken breast — Ensure the chicken breast is thinly sliced to ensure even cooking and maximum flavor absorption from the marinade.
Tips & Tricks
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the marinade.
- Soaking the wooden skewers in water prevents them from burning on the grill.
- Serve the Satay with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
- If you prefer a smoky flavor, grill the Satay over charcoal instead of a gas grill.
- Feel free to substitute chicken with beef, pork, or tofu for a different twist.
Serving advice
Serve the Brazilian-style Satay as an appetizer or main course. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with a side of Brazilian salsa or chimichurri sauce. Accompany with steamed rice or Brazilian-style black beans for a complete meal.
Presentation advice
Arrange the grilled Satay skewers on a platter, garnished with lime wedges and cilantro sprigs. Drizzle some chimichurri sauce over the skewers for an enticing presentation.
