How to cook

Marinade chicken meat

Cut the chicken meat into small cubes. Set aside.
Blend all the marinade ingredients in a food processor. Add a little water if needed.
Combine the chicken and the marinade together, then stir to mix well.
Marinate the chicken for 6 hours in the fridge, or best overnight.
When ready, thread 3-4 pieces of the chicken meat onto the bamboo skewers.

Grill chicken satay

Grill the chicken satay skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side until the meat is fully cooked and the surface is nicely charred, on both sides.
Baste and brush with some oil while grilling.
