Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
3 shallots or small onions
2 cloves garlic, or two teaspoons of lazy garlic
pinch of chilli powder
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1kilo of chicken breast (I'm using thighs as it's cheaper)
For the Chilli Sauce:
2 green chillis
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice (or lemon)
1 tablespoon water
For the Peanut Sauce
125g peanuts
dash of groundnut oil (veg oil if you haven't, not olive oil needs to be high temp)
2 shallots
2 cloves garlic or two teaspoons of lazy garlic
1/2 teaspoon of shrimp paste or 1 table spoon of fish sauce
1/2 teaspoon crushed ginger
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
2 Green chillies (optional)
450ml water
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
Method:
1) in a food processor place the shallots, garlic, ginger. chilli powder, salt, soya sauce and lemon juice. blend untill you get a paste.
2) cut the chicken into two inch sized chunks, place in bowl and poor over the paste. Cover and leave for 1hour(while you make the rest)
3)In a bowl add the crushed garlic, soy sauce, lime juice and water. Finely chop the chillies (I leave seeds in, take seeds out if you don't like it so hot). Place in microwave on full power for 40 seconds or until reasonably warm. Place to the side and leave for 1hr.
4)In a pan add some oil and brown the peanuts for 5minutes until dark brown. If in doubt taste and you can tell if there roasted or not. Should taste like packet roasted peanuts but without the salt.
5) place in a food processor and pulse till coarse, you don't want it to fine.Remove and place to the side.
6) Place the Shallots, garlic, shrimp paste, ginger, coriander, chilli powder, chilli and sugar into *** food processor and blend to a paste.
7) fry the paste in a touch of oil in a pan for 3 minutes then add the water, bring to the boil. Pour in the crushed peanuts and boil for about 10 minutes, or until thick. Set aside.
8) Get your chicken and thread on to a skewer and then grill for about 5minutee a side or untill cooked and brown. Or forget the skewers and just place in a good non stick pan(if you don't have a good non stick pan better to grill) with no oil and flip them once half way through.
9) Now every things ready stir the lime juice into the Satay sauce and serve.
I Served with rice and honey glazed carrots.
If you are allergic to peanuts or don't want a Satay sauce, then just make double the chilli sauce, but add a bit of sugar as it is sour. Also the marinaded chicken on it's own is heavenly.
