Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 500g chicken breast, cubed
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- Skewers
Instructions
- Begin by soaking the skewers in water for at least 10 minutes if you are using wooden skewers. This helps prevent them from burning during cooking.
- While the skewers are soaking, prepare the chicken. Cut the chicken breast into evenly sized cubes, approximately 1 to
- 5 inches in size to ensure even cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and minced garlic. Whisk the ingredients together until you have a smooth and well-blended marinade.
- Add the cubed chicken to the bowl with the marinade. Stir well to ensure all the chicken pieces are coated evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes. For best results, marinate for longer if time allows.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using an outdoor grill, ensure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Once the chicken has marinated, thread the chicken cubes onto the soaked skewers. Leave a little space between each piece to allow for even cooking.
- Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 75°C (165°F).
- Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute within the chicken.
- Serve the brochettes de poulet with additional satay sauce on the side for dipping, and enjoy with rice or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Tips
- Marinating Magic: The key to incredibly flavorful chicken is patience with marination. While the recipe suggests a minimum of 10 minutes, try to marinate for 2-4 hours if possible for maximum flavor penetration.
- Skewer Success: When threading chicken onto skewers, leave a small gap between pieces to ensure even cooking and beautiful grill marks.
- Temperature is Crucial: Use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken reaches the safe internal temperature of 75°C (165°F). This guarantees both safety and juiciness.
- Grill Preparation: If using a grill pan, make sure it's preheated and lightly oiled to prevent sticking and achieve those perfect char marks.
- Resting Matters: Always let the skewers rest for 2-3 minutes after grilling. This helps redistribute the juices, keeping the chicken moist and tender.
- Sauce Variation: Feel free to adjust the marinade's sweetness or tanginess by tweaking the honey, lime juice, or adding a touch of chili for heat.Pro tip: These brochettes are incredibly versatile - serve them as an appetizer, main course, or even at your next barbecue party!
