Equipment

  • Thirty-Two 12-inch Bamboo Skewers

Ingredients

  • Big Bowl Indonesian Dipping Sauce (See "Spotlight Recipes" below for a Link to this Recipe)
  • 2 pounds boneless, skinless Chicken Breasts

Marinade

  • 4 teaspoons Coriander Seeds
  • 4 teaspoons Cumin Seeds
  • 4 cloves Garlic finely minced
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Fish Sauce
  • 3/4 cup Tamarind Paste
  • 1/4 cup Peanut Oil

Instructions

  • Prepare Big Bowl Indonesian Dipping Sauce according to the recipe linked to in "Spotlight Recipes" below. Set aside. (This can be done in advance. Store in a tightly sealed container, in the refrigerator, until ready to use. Bring to room temperature or heat to warm before serving.)
  • Place bamboo skewers in a casserole dish or other dish, large enough to lay flat. Cover with water. Allow to soak for at least 30 minutes.
  • Cut chicken breasts into slices about 1/2-inch across and 3/4-inch long.
  • Thread strips onto skewers to make 32 satays (you may have a few less).
  • Place Coriander and Cumin in a small skillet. Place over medium heat and toast until fragrant. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Grind toasted spices to a coarse powder in a spice grinder.
  • Place ground spices in a small bowl.
  • Add garlic, brown sugar, fish sauce, tamarind paste and peanut oil. Mix well.
  • Arrange prepared skewers in a casserole dish or other shallow dish, large enough to lay flat. Pour prepared marinade over the meat. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes to an hour, turning occasionally.
  • Heat grill to high heat.
  • Remove skewers from marinade, allowing excess to drip off.
  • Grill the satays about a minute on each side - do not overcook - to an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Remove from heat and serve with prepared Big Bowl Indonesian Dipping Sauce (See "Spotlight Recipes" below for a Link to this Recipe).
