Ingredients

500 g Chicken thigh: diced

1 clove of garlic finely chopped

1 stalk of Lemongrass: bruised

Limejuice (optional)

Skewers

Preparation method for Satay Gai

Make the marinade: mix 1 packet of coconut milk (250 ml), 1 tsp turmeric, 1 tbsp Palm sugar, 5 tbsp soy sauce and the finely chopped garlic. Cut the chicken thigh into nice cubes and marinate the chicken thigh in the marinade for at least 1 hour.
Soak the skewers in water for at least 1 hour. This prevents your sticks from burning on the BBQ. Thread the chicken thigh cubes onto the skewers and light the BBQ.
Now make the satay sauce. To do this, mix 250 ml coconut milk, 1 crushed stalk of lemongrass, dried chilli flakes (optional and amount to your own taste), 100 g peanut butter, 2 tbsp palm sugar and 2 tbsp fish sauce together in a saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Let this thicken slowly (about 10-15 minutes). Remove the stalk of lemongrass and if the sauce is too thick, dilute it with a little water. Also taste whether the sauce is nicely balanced. Optionally, you can add a little lime juice to bring some more balance. Finally, roast a handful of peanuts in a dry frying pan and then crush them with a knife or mortar. Stir the crushed peanuts into the sauce for a nice bite!
Grill your Satay Gai on your hot BBQ until they are nicely cooked and serve with the delicious creamy peanut sauce!
