- Slice the chicken into small manageable strips.
- In a bowl you should mix Satay ingredients together, then add the sliced chicken.Make sure that you fully coat all of the chicken in this marinade and leav to rest in the refrigerator for [30 minutes or even over night.
- While the Chicken is resting you should soak your wooden skewers in some water for 30 minutes.
- When the Chicken is marinated you can start to load it onto the wooden skewers, remove the skewers from the water and thread the chicken strips onto them.
- When all of the chicken has beek used tip some of the marinade into a griddle pan with a generous knob of butter (25g).
- Heat the pan up then cook the skewers for 8 -12 minutes, turning often so that the chicken is fully cooked all over.
- Heat up the satay sauce and serve as a started or snack on a side plate.
This sauce should be made with homemade Peanut Butter, but to be honest it is just easier to use a Jar.
If you don't want to put the chicken on skewers you can just cook it in the pan with out the skewers.
