Grilled Chicken Satay
Serves 4*
Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Start to Finish: 15 minutes preparation, 2 hours to marinate, about 5 minutes to grill
Satay is usually a snack or appetizer but it’s hearty enough for a main dish. Pair with Thai-Style Peanut Sauce and you’ll feel as though you’ve been transported to an exotic island for dinner.
Recipe
2-inch bamboo skewers*
1/4 cup Asian sesame oil
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon bottled fresh ginger*
1 teaspoon bottled minced garlic*
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast tenderloins*
- Place skewers in water to soak. Place all remaining ingredients except chicken in a food processor or blender. Pulse until onion is chopped fine and ingredients are well blended.
- Thread chicken on skewers, and place in a shallow oblong dish (no more than 2 deep) and pour marinade over. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.
- Turn on a gas grill to high. Drain and discard marinade. Grill uncovered until beginning to brown and cooked through, about 5 to 8 minutes, turning frequently. Serve immediately with Thai-style Peanut Sauce, if desired.
* Notes
The recipe is easily doubled.
Or use peeled and grated fresh ginger (1 tablespoon).
Or use 1 large clove peeled fresh garlic.
Soak bamboo skewers 10 to 20 minutes in water to keep from scorching on grill.
