Quick and Easy Chicken Satay

Submitted by The Flying Chef

"This is so simple and quick to put together, it is a great recipe to make after work as it can be on the table in about 30 Min's. The spiciness of the dish will depend on the brand of satay sauce you buy, mine is a medium spice and I add extra chili flakes as well, so you can make this as mild or as spicy as you like to suit personal preference. I serve this dish over basmati rice but serve with whatever you want if you do not make the rice it would be on the table even quicker."

I love chicken satay and I'm always looking for a faster, easier recipe. I haven't tried this one yet, but one thing has me confused. The photos (in fact the very definition of "chicken satay") involve skewered pieces of chicken. The directions make no reference to skewering at any stage. In fact, use of a wok for both stages of frying precludes use of skewers (unless the wok is very large or the skewers are very short !)

Obviously the chicken in the photo was grilled, yet the recipe calls for pan/wok stir fried. I too would prefer American measurements.

I would love to make this but see no instructions for cooking on skewers or grilling. Is the photo misplaced?

 

[grannygrey50]

This recipe and directions make NO SENSE. I am an advanced cook and nothing matches up..picture, how to serve, etc. Is this one an April Fool's joke?

What a joke! This is chicken satay? Think again, maybe you want to say fried chicken or.... Do not post the wrong stuff. Like somebody else said: chicken satay is marinated chicken, grilled, served with peanut sauce and cucumber relish. Satay sauce is made not store bought. Where did you get it!!! Ha, ha!
