    ThermoFun - Chicken Satay Skewers

    Jump to recipe

    This recipe is based on the traditional Malaysian/Indonesian Satay.  It’s a mild-medium flavour so if you prefer a hotter satay just add more chilli.  This is also perfect as a quick sauce with noodles, vegetables and chicken.

      Thank you for this recipe it was very good!! I tried other recipes using peanut butter and after trying this I would never, ever go back to the peanut butter satay sauce recipe ever again. It was simple to make too.

      Yum, yum, yum!!! Made this again tonight and going to do with beef strips and vegetables, and may add a little coconut cream to make it a little runny.

      Can you make the marinade in advance? Will it keep for a week in the fridge?

        Kirstin, I'm not sure about one week, so to be on the safe side I would freeze it.

      Love this recipe. We use the marinade as is for the chicken but add a little bit of coconut cream for the dipping sauce. Reminds me of summer.

        Yes definitely Katrina, you would probably have to serve it without using the skewers though.

      Thanks for recipe, I'm using the satay for pizza base, I used cashews instead of peanuts. I have some satay left over do you think I could freeze it?

      Just making this now! So yummy! I needed a way to use up some left over BBQ chicken so I cooked this up, added some coconut cream at the end, took it out of the bowl, steamed some vegies in the varoma dish and then reheated the bbq chicken in the tray above it. So easy and tastes so much better than any store bought satay sauce.

      We can't have peanuts due to allergies, but do you think if I put macadamias & macadamia oil in instead it would work?
      Thank you.

        Hi Allyson,

        I have heard of people being able to substitute cashew nuts for peanuts and have a similar taste. I personally haven't done it. I believe they recommend roasting/dry fry them to give them a nice flavour and you can substitute without having to change the quantity. If you do give this a go could you let me know the outcome and I can adjust recipe if need be.

        Hope that helps.
