Description
This quick and easy marinated chicken satay recipe is inspired by Indonesian and Malaysian flavours using sweet ketjap manis soy sauce.
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast fillets (approximately 300g)
- 6 tablespoons ketjap manis
- 1 teaspoon sambal (Indonesian chilli-based paste) or chilli paste
- 1 teaspoon ground paprika
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
- 1/2 teaspoon onion granules
- 1/2 tablespoon wok or toasted sesame oil (optional)
Instructions
- Cut chicken breast fillets into large, approximately 2cm, chunks. Combine in a bowl with ketjap manis, sambal, ground paprika, curry powder, garlic granules and onion granules. Take some time to ensure all the flavours are mixed well. If you need to loosen up the mixture a bit, add some wok or toasted sesame oil but this is optional.
- Cover the bowl and leave in the fridge overnight, or at least for one hour.
- When you’re ready to cook the chicken, switch on the oven at the highest grill setting. Now I am aware that you usually see these cooked on skewers, but in all honestly, I don’t find it worth the hassle and I just find they burn under the grill no matter how long I soak them in water or whatever trick I use.
- Grease a baking tray with some sesame or non-flavoured oil. Transfer the chicken to the baking tray in one single layer and leave underneath the grill for approximately 10 minutes or until fully cooked through.
- Serve immediately with satay sauce.
Notes
The end result is most delicious if you start this recipe 24 hours in advance, allowing the chicken to marinate long enough for ultimate flavour, but if you’re in a hurry or simply forgot to start long enough in advance, an hour or so will do.
