👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, combine kecap manis, 1 tbsp vegetable oil, lime juice, chopped shallots, lemongrass, garlic, ginger, ground coriander, turmeric powder, chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Marinate the chicken: Add the cubed chicken thighs to the marinade. Toss to ensure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably 2-4 hours (or overnight) for maximum flavor infusion.
⏱️ 1 hour (minimum) - 3
Prepare the peanut sauce: If using raw peanuts, roast them in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly. Let them cool slightly, then rub off any skins. Alternatively, use pre-roasted peanuts. Grind the peanuts into a fine paste using a food processor or mortar and pestle.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 4
Cook the peanut sauce base: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add a little more chopped shallot and garlic (optional, for extra flavor) and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the ground peanut paste, kecap manis, and chili powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 5
Simmer the peanut sauce: Gradually whisk in the water until you achieve a smooth, thick sauce consistency. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly and the flavors have melded. Season with salt and sugar (if using) to taste. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more water. Set aside.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 6
Assemble the skewers: Remove chicken from the marinade, discarding excess marinade. Thread the marinated chicken cubes onto the soaked bamboo skewers, about 4-5 pieces per skewer. Ensure they are not packed too tightly to allow for even cooking.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 7
Grill the satay: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, wait until the coals are covered in white ash. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the skewers on the hot grill.

Cook the satay: Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice char marks. Baste with any remaining marinade or a little extra kecap manis during the last few minutes of grilling for added glaze and flavor.
⏱️ 10-12 minutes - 9
Serve: Arrange the grilled Sate Ayam on a platter. Serve immediately with the warm peanut sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish with sliced shallots and a lime wedge if desired.
