Questions about Chicken satay
What is chicken satay?
It is chicken seasoned with spices, threaded on skewers and grilled or barbecued, usually served with a savoury peanut sauce. Satay is especially associated with Indonesian and Malaysian cooking.
How do you stop chicken satay from drying out on the grill?
Cut the chicken into evenly sized strips or chunks and marinate it in the fridge; thread it loosely so heat can reach each piece. Grill over medium-high heat, turning often, until the centre reaches 75 °C—usually about 8–12 minutes, depending on the size.
Can you cook chicken satay without skewers?
Yes. Grill the marinated chicken pieces on a lightly oiled tray or cook them in a hot frying pan, turning until browned and cooked through; serve the peanut sauce alongside.
What do you serve with chicken satay?
Serve it with peanut sauce, cucumber and red onion, plus rice or compressed rice cakes. A sharp, lightly pickled cucumber salad balances the rich sauce.
Can you make chicken satay sauce without peanuts?
For a peanut-free version, use tahini or sunflower-seed butter thinned with coconut milk or water, then season with lime, soy sauce and a little chilli. Check that the substitute is safe for anyone with a seed or sesame allergy.
How should you store and reheat chicken satay?
Refrigerate cooked chicken within two hours in a covered container and use it within two days. Reheat until steaming hot throughout; keep any sauce that has touched raw chicken separate from the serving sauce.
Does chicken satay contain peanuts?
It is commonly served with peanut sauce, so ask about the sauce and any cross-contact if you need to avoid peanuts. The chicken itself does not have to contain peanuts, but marinades and ready-made sauces can include them.
Is chicken satay high in protein?
Chicken satay provides 22 g of protein per 100 g, making it a source of protein. The amount you get depends on how much chicken is in your serving and how much sauce accompanies it.
