Instructions

Get Prepped
1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Soak your skewers in cold water (this will prevent them from burning).

c) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

d) Zest and halve the lime. Juice the whole lime into a large bowl and set the zest aside for later.

Bring on the Satay Skewers
2

a) Cut the chicken thighs lengthways into 2cm wide strips and add to the lime juice. Add the garlic and season with salt and pepper, then mix to combine. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

b) In a separate medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce and boiled water (see pantry for amount) until smooth.

c) Thread the chicken strips onto 2-4 skewers and transfer to a lightly oiled baking tray. 

Finish and Serve
3

a) Drizzle half the peanut satay sauce over the chicken skewers and bake on the top shelf of your oven until cooked through, 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

b) Halfway through cooking, turn the skewers and drizzle over the remaining sauce. 

c) Once cooked, place the skewers onto your serving plate and sprinkle over the lime zest to finish.

Enjoy!

  • Flavour: Some found the dish tasty, while others felt the flavours weren't strong enough. Consider adding chilli flakes for extra zing.
  • Ease of prep: Very simple to make; even a 10-year-old could prepare these with guidance.
  • Suggestions: Increase cooking time for better results. Try thickening the sauce and boosting peanut flavour for a more authentic taste.
