Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Chicken breast — Ensure the chicken is thinly sliced to ensure quick and even cooking.
  • Wooden skewers — Soaking the skewers in water prevents them from burning during grilling.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a spicier kick, increase the amount of cayenne pepper in the marinade.
  • Serve the satay skewers with a side of peanut sauce for an authentic Indonesian touch.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the skewers on a stovetop grill pan or in the oven under the broiler.
  • Experiment with different meats like beef or pork for variety.
  • Add some chopped fresh herbs, such as cilantro or mint, to garnish the satay skewers.
