Grilled Chicken Satay With Spicy Peanut Sauce Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN SATAY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix the marinade ingredients except the chicken. Slice the chicken into long, thin strips, about 3 inches long by 1 inch wide, and add to marinade. Turn chicken to coat, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or longer.
• Meanwhile, prepare the peanut sauce. Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and whisk well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook until smooth, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Prepare grill to high heat and thread marinated chicken onto soaked bamboo skewers. Place on grill and cook 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Serve with lime wedges and peanut sauce and garnish with cilantro and peanuts.

Steps:

• Soak the bamboo skewers: If using bamboo skewers, soak them in warm water for 30 minutes.
• Marinate the chicken: In a bowl large enough to hold the chicken, stir together the brown sugar, vinegar, lime juice, fish sauce, sriracha, and ginger. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight. You can also marinate them in a resealable gallon-sized plastic bag to save space in the fridge, if you prefer.
• Prepare the grill: For charcoal grills: Light one chimney full of coals and when they are covered with ash, spread them out evenly. Allow the grill grates to heat for 5 minutes. With a pair of tongs, dip a folded square of paper towel in oil and generously oil the grates. For a gas grill: Heat the grill on high heat for about 20 minutes. With a pair of tongs, dip a folded square of paper towel in oil and generously oil the grates.

Steps:

• Whisk together fish sauce, lime juice, lemongrass, agave, soy sauce, ginger, chili flakes and garlic (makes 3/4 cup). Pour 1/2 cup marinade into a shallow baking dish; reserve the remaining 1/4 cup. Thinly slice chicken crosswise, with your knife slightly on the diagonal. Add the chicken to the marinade in the baking dish, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Strain reserved marinade into a large bowl; whisk with the vegetable oil. Add the shredded cabbage, snap peas and cilantro; cover with plastic and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high; soak about 24 skewers in water for 20 minutes. Thread chicken onto skewers. Lightly oil grill grates; sear or grill chicken in batches until cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Toss slaw; serve with chicken and Spicy Peanut Sauce, if desired.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl with 1 tablespoon water; whisk until smooth.
