Chicken Satay

Makes 15 sticks:
350 g. chicken fillets 3 kaffir lime leaves, shredded
15 satay sticks 3 tbspn. vegetable oil
2 tspn. kecap manis pr brown sugar 2 tbspn. soy sauce
3 cloves garlic 2 tspn cracked black or white pepperIn Bali, you’ll see the vendors in the markets busily fanning and twirling satay over gloving coconut husks. Every now and then they splash then with a marinade that makes the flame jump and crackle, adding a delicious smoky finish to these succulent treats. Tossed with a fiery sweet peanut sauce and wrapped in banana leaves or brown paper, they became a hearty take-away snack or meal.

Soak the satay stick in water for half an hour to prevent charring during cooking. Chop the garlic.
Remove the skin and fat from the chicken. Slice into small cubes approximately 2 cm x 2 cm. mix all the ingredients in bowl with the chopped chicken, making sure the meat is well coated with the marinade. Leave for at least 10 minute. If leaving longer, cover with plastic film and put it in refrigerator. Thread 3 or 4 chunks of chicken onto each of the sticks. Barbecue or grill until golden brown for about 4 minutes on each side, basting with the marinade from time to time to prevent them drying out.
Serve with peanut sauce and rice. Garnish with the fried shallots.
