SATE AYAM AKA CHICKEN SATAY

Satay is a popular dish in Indonesia, so many kinds of them, every region has their own satay, different spices in different ways, some of them come with peanut butter sauce, some come with sweet soy sauce.

Today I'm going to share the common Chicken Satay, I made it several times with several ways and finally I stick on this one, so simple, so tasty and so moist.

Ingredients:
- 2 lbs of chicken thighs (boneless and has some fat on ), cut in 1/2 x 3/4 inch size
- for marinating sauce: - 2 tbsp of canola oil, 2 tbsp of sweet soy sauce (can be substitute with 2 tbsp of soy sauce and 2 tsp of dark brown sugar), 2 gloves of finely minced garlic, 1 tsp of coriander powder, black peppers, salt if still needed, gently massage the meat with the sauce in a big plastic bag
- let it chill overnight in the refrigerator

- meanwhile also soak the wood skewers in cold water for overnight
- skew the meat evenly, not too thick, save the remaining juice
- heat the grill (it tastes much better if we grill it on a charcoal grill, the smokes add more flavor)
- add 1 tbsp of oil into the remaining juice, brush on the meat before put on the grill
- brush with the oil again before flipping them, grill until the meat are done

Serve with peanut sauce

for peanut sauce: 1 full tbsp of natural chunky peanut butter, add 1/2 cup of milk, 1 tbsp of mayonnaise and 1 tsp of hot chili sauce, mix well, sprinkle with a bit of lemon juice before serving

for about 40 skewers
