Soak the skewers

Soak the bamboo skewers in water for ten minutes so they don't scorch on the grill.

Marinate the chicken

Mix the chicken with the kecap manis, oil, garlic, coriander and turmeric, and marinate in the fridge for one hour.

Make the peanut sauce

Blend the peanuts, garlic, shallots and chillies with the water, then simmer with the kecap manis, tamarind, palm sugar and salt for eight minutes until thick.

8 min

Thread the skewers

Thread four or five marinated chicken pieces onto each soaked skewer.

Grill the satay

Grill the skewers over hot charcoal or a hot griddle, turning every couple of minutes, for eight minutes total until charred at the edges and cooked through.

Serve hot with the peanut sauce, sliced shallots, cucumber and lime wedges.
