One of LC's favourites from the takeaway is chicken satay, but unfortunately our experiences with this one have been rather hit and miss. Fortunately, though, I found this recipe in the "Hairy Bikers' Asian Adventure", and so put it to good use.
This is a fairly quick and simple meal, with one small wrinkle in that the meat needs to be marinaded, preferably overnight. That means that it does require a little planning, though it means there are two simple preparations rather than just one. (The other big thing to recommend about this one is that the book gives several options - beef, pork, and prawns as well as chicken. Which is really great.)
My initial thought when cooking this was to use the BBQ for the chicken. In the event I decided against this, but in hindsight I was right first time. Cooking the chicken skewers on the griddle proved to be slightly more awkward than I had expected and hoped - it worked fine, but the BBQ would just have been better.
Preparing the sauce was simple - put everything in a pan and simmer for a bit.
The end result was great. Nice and tasty, with a good but not excessive amount of kick in both the chicken and the sauce.
All in all, this was a really great meal, and stands to become a new favourite - which actually makes two in the space of a week!
