Type of chicken meat for satay

Most ordinarily utilized is the chicken bosom. It is boneless, in this way exceptionally simple to work with. Nonetheless, the chicken bosom may be excessively dry assuming it is over-cooked. I’d suggest chicken thighs for certain fats and skin if you have any desire to make flavourful delicious chicken satay.

What to eat satay ayam with?

Continuously serve satay ayam along with compacted rice ‘nasi impit’, a few crude onions cuts, cucumber and obviously, the incredibly flavourful satay peanut sauce for a perfect and healthy meal. It’s also great to be eaten with our other famous Malaysian recipe such as egg popiah. 

Barbecuing satay ayam on a barbecue skillet

Chicken satay or any kind of satay besides is best barbecued on a charcoal barbecue. Nonetheless, on the off chance that that is unimaginable, a barbecue container isn’t that terrible of a thought. Check it out making them in your kitchen.

Not long prior to barbecuing, preheat the dish at medium to high hotness for 5 minutes. The barbecue skillet must be truly hot for the meat to sizzle as it is laid on the container. While barbecuing, brush some oil onto the meat with a swollen tail of lemongrass for outright scent.

Wash hands carefully when dealing with raw meat

Whenever you manage raw meat, particularly chicken, utilize a different cutting board, ensure no fingers are licked while dealing with it, and that everybody cleans up in soap water subsequently.

Don’t touch the turmeric with your hands

Use utensils to throw together the chicken and turmeric, unless having yellow-stained hands has generally been a secret wish of yours. Turmeric is an extraordinary normal colour for novices. It yields a warm gold tone on undyed regular cotton textures, silk and fleece. A note of mindfulness: The variety will blur rapidly whenever washed regularly.

Soak the skewers before cooking the satay ayam

In the event that you don’t have a grill, you can sear the meat in the broiler on a cooking skillet or baking sheet. To do as such, place satay ayam close underneath the warming component and turn the meat at regular intervals until cooked (make certain to drench your wooden satay sticks in water prior to piercing).

Absorbing them warm water for 10 to 30 minutes prior to stringing will hold the sticks back from being cooked alongside the food.
