Mini Chicken Satay

                     Mini Chicken Satay 

TH and I love satay, it's an appetizer that we order a lot.

I'd was asked to bring an appetizer recently and I thought why not take satay.

I knew I wanted to make a finger type food so these were just what I was looking for.

What you'll need
for the chicken ........

chicken breasts cut into strips ~ I used 2
greek yogurt ~ 1 cup
curry powder ~ 1 teaspoon
grated ginger~ 1 teaspoon
garlic, minced  ~ 1 clove
onion powder ~ 1 teaspoon
hot sauce ~ 1/4 teaspoon
salt ~ 1/2 teaspoon

Food sticks


Cut the chicken into strips,  about 4-5 inches.
not to thick and not too thin but the same thickness along the strip

In a bowl add the yogurt, curry powder, ginger, garlic, onion powder, hot sauce and salt.
Mix everything really well

Add the chicken, making sure the chicken is coated with the yogurt mix.
Cover the bowl and place the chicken and yogurt mix in  the fridge for a couple of hours.

insert the food stick into the chicken, you'll need to scrunch the chicken slightly

Heat a nonstick pan and place the chicken on the sticks into the pan.

I found it was easier to cook all slights of the chicken.
The chicken doesn't take long to cook as the chicken is thin and a small amount amount
Each batch took less than five minutes to cook

While the chicken was marinating I made the satay (peanut sauce)

What you'll need  for the satay sauce
Peanut butter 1/3 cup
coconut milk ~  ~ 1/4 cup
lime juice ~ 1 lime
soya sauce ~ 2 tablespoons
grated ginger 1 teaspoon
oil ~ 1 teaspoon
onion powder ~ 1 teaspoon
garlic powder 1/2 teaspoon
curry powder ~ 1 teaspoon
chili flakes ~ 1/2 teaspoon
brown sugar ~ 1 tablespoon
Hot water ~  1/4 -1/3 cup depending on the thickness of the sauce you'd like

In a pan heat the oil and add the grated ginger, onion powder and garlic powder
heat very low and cook for a few minutes, making sure NOT to cook this to high and not to burn it.

In a blender add the peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soya sauce, curry powder, chili flakes brown sugar and the cooked ginger and garlic and onion powder mix
add a little bit of water at a time ( I used a 1/3 of a cup of water)
Turn the blender on until the sauce is completely mixed together.

Place in  a dish and refrigerate, the longer the satay is left the better.
The longer its left the more you'll taste the flavours coming through.

Enjoy!
