Spicy chicken satays
Chatelaine Triple Tested

Ingredients

  • 20 small wooden skewers

  • 2 limes

  • 1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 3 small garlic cloves, minced, or 2 tsp bottled chopped garlic

  • 2 tsp hot chili-garlic sauce

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

  • 4 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1/2 tsp dark sesame oil

Instructions

  • Soak skewers in water for 20 minutes. Finely grate 1 tbsp (15 mL) peel from limes into a large bowl. Stir in cilantro, vegetable oil, garlic, chili-garlic sauce and salt.

  • Cut chicken lengthwise into 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick strips. Stir into cilantro mixture to coat. Refrigerate if not using right away.

  • When ready to cook, position oven rack in top third of oven. Preheat broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and brush with vegetable oil or coat with cooking spray. Then thread 1 strip of chicken onto each skewer. Place on baking sheet. (It will be a tight fit.)

  • Broil until meat is lightly golden and firm to the touch, 7 to 9 minutes. You don't need to turn skewers. Sprinkle with more cilantro if you wish. In a small bowl, stir soy sauce with sesame oil for dipping. Arrange skewers and dipping sauce on a platter. Add lime wedges for squeezing over satays if you wish.
