How to Make Chinese Satay Chicken? A Step-by-Step Guide
ADVERTISEMENT

Chinese Satay Chicken is a flavorful and aromatic dish loved by many. It is made with tender chicken pieces that are marinated and grilled to perfection. The highlight of the dish is the rich and creamy peanut sauce that adds a delightful balance of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors. Originating from Southeast Asia, this dish has become popular worldwide, with variations made in many countries. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to prepare Chinese Satay Chicken at home, along with tips and suggestions for making it just right.

Ingredients

To make Chinese Satay Chicken, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Chicken: 500g boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

Marinade: 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 2 garlic cloves (minced), 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper

Peanut Sauce: 3 tablespoons peanut butter, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon chili paste (optional), 1/4 cup warm water

Skewers: Wooden or metal skewers

Garnish: Chopped cilantro, crushed peanuts (optional), lime wedges

Step-by-Step Guide to Making Chinese Satay Chicken

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Marinade

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and ground white pepper. Stir the ingredients well to ensure they are fully mixed. Place the chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag or bowl, and pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chicken to absorb the flavors. If you have time, marinating for a few hours or overnight will enhance the flavor even more.

Step 2: Prepare the Peanut Sauce

While the chicken is marinating, it’s time to prepare the peanut sauce. In a small bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and chili paste (if using). Add the warm water to thin the sauce and stir until the ingredients are fully incorporated and smooth. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as necessary. If you prefer a spicier sauce, add more chili paste; if you want it sweeter, add more brown sugar. Set the sauce aside.

Step 3: Thread the Chicken onto Skewers

Once the chicken has marinated, it’s time to thread it onto skewers. If you’re using wooden skewers, make sure to soak them in water for about 30 minutes beforehand to prevent them from burning during grilling. Take each chicken piece and carefully thread it onto the skewers, making sure to leave a little space between each piece for even cooking. This should make about 6-8 skewers, depending on the size of your chicken pieces.

Step 4: Grill the Chicken

Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If you’re using a grill, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent the chicken from sticking. Place the chicken skewers on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F). Be careful not to overcook the chicken, as it can become dry. You should see grill marks on both sides and the chicken should be golden brown.

Step 5: Serve the Satay Chicken

Once the chicken is cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve the satay chicken on a platter, drizzling the peanut sauce over the top. You can also serve the sauce on the side for dipping. Garnish the dish with freshly chopped cilantro, crushed peanuts, and lime wedges for a burst of flavor and color.

Serving Suggestions

Chinese Satay Chicken pairs perfectly with steamed rice, noodles, or a fresh salad. You can also serve it as an appetizer or as part of a larger Chinese-inspired meal. For an extra touch of flavor, you can serve it with pickled vegetables or a side of stir-fried greens.

Tips for Success

Marinate the Chicken Well: Don’t rush the marinating process. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be.

Grill at the Right Temperature: Make sure your grill is preheated and at the right temperature before you start cooking. This helps achieve the perfect char and prevents the chicken from being undercooked.

Adjust the Sauce: If you prefer a creamier peanut sauce, you can add a little coconut milk. If you like it spicier, add more chili paste or fresh chilies.

Serving Ideas: Serve with a side of peanut rice or steamed jasmine rice to complement the flavors of the satay chicken.

Conclusion

Making Chinese Satay Chicken at home is easier than you might think. With tender grilled chicken pieces, a rich and creamy peanut sauce, and a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious dish that rivals any restaurant version. Whether you’re serving it for dinner, a special occasion, or as an appetizer, Chinese Satay Chicken is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Follow this guide, and you’ll have a flavorful, satisfying meal in no time!
