Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Singapore Satay Chicken Skewers.
Step 1
In a spacious non-reactive bowl, mix together the finely chopped red onion, minced garlic, fragrant lemongrass, soy sauce, peanut oil, vibrant turmeric, brown sugar, earthy cumin, fresh ginger, salt, and pepper.
Step 2
Set aside about 2 tablespoons of this flavorful marinade in a small bowl and refrigerate it for later use.
Step 3
Add the chicken breasts to the remaining marinade, ensuring each piece is generously coated.
Step 4
Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator overnight to absorb all those delicious flavors.
Step 5
About 30 minutes before you fire up the grill, soak wooden skewers in water to prevent them from burning.
Step 6
Preheat your outdoor grill to high heat, lightly oiling the grate to keep the chicken from sticking.
Step 7
Once marinated, remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the used marinade.
Step 8
Slice each chicken breast into six diagonal strips for optimal grilling.
Step 9
Thread the chicken strips onto the soaked skewers, then grill them for 5 to 8 minutes, turning frequently and basting with the reserved marinade, until the chicken is perfectly cooked with crispy, golden edges.
Step 10
Enjoy the tantalizing aroma and flavors as you savor each bite of this grilled delight.
