recipe tips


Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.

Cut the chicken into even-sized pieces so they cook evenly.

Serve the chicken sate with extra peanut sauce on the side for dipping.

Garnish the dish with chopped peanuts or cilantro, if desired.

Adjust the amount of curry powder in the marinade if desired.

Stir the peanut sauce constantly while cooking to prevent sticking and burning.

Serve the chicken sate as an appetizer or with rice and vegetables for a complete meal.

Try adding coconut milk to the peanut sauce for a creamier texture.

common recipe questions


Can I use a different type of oil?

Yes, you can use vegetable oil or canola oil instead of corn oil. You want one with a higher smoke point since it will be broiled.

What can I substitute for lemon juice?

You can use lime juice or vinegar as a substitute.

Is it necessary to marinate the chicken for 30 minutes?

Marinating for 30 minutes helps to infuse the flavors and tenderize the chicken, but you can marinate for a shorter time if in a rush.

Can I grill the chicken instead of broiling?

Yes, grilling the chicken sate adds a nice smoky flavor. Preheat the grill to medium-high and cook the chicken until done which should be close to the same as the recipe time.

How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?

The chicken is done when it's no longer pink inside and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.

Do I use creamy or chunky peanut butter?

You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter, depending on your preference.

What can I substitute for fresh ginger?

You can use 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger as a substitute.

How should I store leftover peanut sauce?

Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Can I make the peanut sauce ahead of time?

Yes, you can make the sauce ahead of time and reheat it when ready to serve.

Is there a way to make this dish spicier?

Add chili flakes or a bit of hot sauce to the marinade or peanut sauce for more heat.
