How to make it

4 steps. Take it one step at a time.

  1. Combine the cubed chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken with minced garlic, chopped shallots, sweet soy sauce, coriander powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well and refrigerate for at least 60 minutes to marinate.

    1 hr

  2. Prepare the peanut sauce

    While chicken marinades, prepare the peanut sauce. Grind the roasted peanuts in a food processor until fine. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the ground peanuts, coconut milk, a splash of sweet soy sauce, and lime juice. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens and the oil starts to separate.

    7 min

  3. Thread 3-4 pieces of chicken

    Thread 3-4 pieces of chicken onto each soaked bamboo skewer.

  4. Heat a grill or grill pan

    Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, basting with a little extra sweet soy sauce and oil, until charred and cooked through.

A little kitchen wisdom

Soak your bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning. For the best flavor, use Kecap Manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce) rather than regular soy sauce with sugar.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

The chicken can be marinated up to 24 hours in advance. The peanut sauce can be made 2 days ahead and reheated gently.

Store & enjoy

Store leftover skewers and sauce separately in airtight containers. Reheat skewers in a pan or oven to maintain texture; microwave the peanut sauce with a splash of water.
