Sate Chicken
"This is one my mother in law gave me over 25 years ago and is a family favourite. The original recipe was for chicken wings but I use drumsticks or mixed chicken pieces or a jointed whole chicken. Don't include marinading time. Serve with rice - there's plenty of sauce to mop up - and steamed or stir fry vegetables. The satay sauce I use is called "Jimmy's Sate Sauce" which is a bean based sate not a nut based, so I don't know how a nut based sate would go. UPDATE - now when making with due consideration to diabetic factors I only use 1 tablespoon of honey instead of 1/3 cup, does not detract from flavour and the skin does not tend to burn (caramalise as much) and tends to be slightly crispy) and I usually quarter a small/medium chicken (1.3k to 1.7k) and bake for about 1 to 1 1/4 hours (use backbone for stock) and usually leave wings on the breast."

Yummy - the sauce has such a rich flavor! I'd give it four and a half stars. I used chicken thighs and one breast - (DS went back for thirds!) Also made a vegetarian version by replacing the chicken with sliced tempeh. DD and DS's girlfriend thought it was great. I realized I was out of sherry, so I used sake instead. I did reduce the soy sauce too. I made a simple satay sauce from red chile, garlic, lime juice, sugar, soy sauce, and almond butter. Will make this again for sure! Thanks!! -
We enjoyed this for super earlier this week. A real plus for me was doing the prep in the morning, marinating in the fridge and come mealtime being able to quickly pop into the oven. Made as posted, did the quick zap in the micro for the honey and followed through. As with Jewelies I liked the sticky, sweet and tasty sauce. Did get a mixed vote on this one - think next time will add some freshly minced garlic and that should about do it! Thank you Chef Potts for sharing a family recipe and Chef floWer for her enticing photo that had me choose this recipe for the Recipe Swap # 16. -
This is wonderful, I actually made this on the grill in a metal chicken-turner, I also added in some fresh garlic to the honey mixture, we loved this, thanks for sharing hon!...Kitten:) -
We enjoyed these very much. My girls loved the sticky, sweet, tasty sauce. I used chicken wings and set them up in my roasting dish in the morning, covered them and let them marinate in the fridge until I got home at night then just popped them into the oven. Served as suggested over rice. Very tasty, thank you for posting! Edited to add that I used 'Taylor's Thai Satay Sauce' which is a peanut based sauce and I bought it at Coles. -
This was a very easy dish to make. The only thing different I did was I blended the sauce with a electric hand wand to combine the ingredients, then poured it in the chicken. I left it marinate over night, when I was ready to cook it I placed it in the oven uncovered, served it with steam rice. YUMMY! Thank you Chef Potts

With the demise of the forums and with no more interaction on site with what was a great community and it was a pleasure to get to know so many of you over the years and to have had the privilege of meeting some of you in person. For me now this is just another recipe site like to many on the net, it has lost its specialness, such a pity especially when Scripps changed the name from Recipezaar to Food.com and made this statement sorry cannot replicate here as considered invalid but they basically said yes the community was valuable hence .com was short for community but it was a pack of lies as they were not willing to put the money into that community and got rid of the forums which was the community so for .com has become .crap.
