Spicy Satay Skewers

Serves 4-5 Persons


Ingredients:

• 500g Thigh Fillets
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 1 clove garlic, crushed

For the Satay Sauce

• 180g peanut butter
• 3/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons chili powder, or to taste
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon grated onion
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• bamboo skewers, soaked

Procedure:

1. Mix all satay sauce ingredients together in a saucepan, heat to a simmer, then simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
2. Cut thigh fillets in half down the center. Cut the thinner side into 2 and the thicker side into 3 pieces. Place in a bowl and sprinkle with salt, pepper, lemon jioce and garlic, stir to mix through. Pour marinade over chicken, cover and stand to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or leave overnight in the refrigerator.
3. Soak bamboo skewers in water. Thread 4-5 pieces onto each skewer until just touching. If pushed too close together, the center will not cook sufficiently.
4. Grill or barbecue on moderately high heat for 10-12 minutes turning frequently and brushing with sauce. Remove to platter and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Serve with remaining satay sauce.
