Grilled Singapore Satay
Ingredients
  • 1 large red onion, chopped
  • 2 large garlic cloves, chopped
  • 3 stalks lemon grass, chopped
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon peanut oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground turmeric
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded thin
  • 12 wooden or bamboo skewers
Instructions
1
Combine the onion, garlic, lemon grass, soy sauce, peanut oil, turmeric, brown sugar, cumin, ginger, salt, and pepper in a large nonreactive bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the marinade mixture in a separate container, then refrigerate until time to cook.
2
Submerge chicken breasts into the remaining marinade mixture and ensure they are well-coated, before refrigerating overnight to allow flavors to meld.
3
About 30 minutes prior to serving, immerse skewers in water to rehydrate them. Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly brush the cooking surface with oil.
4
Remove chicken breasts from the marinade mixture, discarding the used liquid. Cut each breast into 6 long strips and thread a strip onto one of the rehydrated skewers. Grill the skewers, turning frequently and brushing with the reserved marinade mixture until the chicken is cooked through with a nicely browned exterior, 5 to 8 minutes per skewer.
