Indian Style Chicken Satay Recipe

Chicken Satay is the easiest and the best way to relish grilled chicken. The ingredient list is short and simple, requires few basic sauces and voila! you have the best-grilled chicken skewers ready in less than 30 minutes. A peanut dipping sauce on the side and some sliced onions won’t hurt as well. I bet you can not only get started making this grilled chicken in the next two minutes, you will save this chicken satay recipe right away for all your future BBQ parties.
I love satay because one need not sit at one particular place and enjoy it, with satay skewer in one hand you can sneak peek all over the house and sip your drink as well. The cheat trick is to marinade the chicken a day before or the previous night and the next day all you need to do is grill them. 
 
What is so special about this chicken satay recipe? – It is infused with bold and spicy Indian flavours. So if you are looking for a unique twist to the regular satay then this Indian style chicken satay recipe is absolutely meant for you. 
 

Tandoori Chicken Satay is an Indian style grilled chicken satay. Surely addictive and lip smacking good.

I have been trying to make some room in my freezer lately and in doing so I have been coming across all sorts of interesting things that I had forgotten about. One of them was a pack of boneless chicken. The first thing that came to my mind was the conventional chicken tikka. But then I thought it will be too conventional. So why not make chicken satay infused with Indian flavours. And hence, we got Tandoori Chicken Satay Recipe.  

I am a huge fan of skewered grilled meat widely available across South-East Asia and this chicken satay is no exception! It is super simple to make, only require a bit of marinating time and then you just throw it on the grill. The chicken came out nice and tender and light and fresh and it was packed full of flavour. These chicken skewers go well with just about everything, including but not limited to Mint and Coriander Chutney, or Peanut Dipping Sauce.

How To Make Chicken Satay Without BBQ/Outdoor Grill?

Okay! Now you must be worry about not having a huge barbecue grill in your backyard where you can grill satay sticks. No worries, you can grill these chicken skewers in the tiny indoor barbecue or use grill mode in the oven/microwave. If that not possible then stick to good quality grill pan for the purpose. A couple of times, we have grilled chicken on the grill pan and it turns out super delicious. So do give it a shot!  

Tips To Make Delicious Chicken Satay At Home:

  • The key to best satay chicken is the tender and juicy meat. It is always best to use small boneless chicken pieces with the thickness less than half an inch. The small bite-size chicken pieces get cooked quickly. 
  • Marination is a keep step in the making of delicious satay chicken. The meat needs to nicely absorb the flavour of the marinade so that it does not taste bland underneath. 
  • Adjust the combination of marinating ingredients as per your taste. Like, you can add a teaspoon of soy sauce, fish sauce or red chilli sauce as well in the marinade mix. Or skip the sugar totally if you don’t want the notes of sweetness in your satay chicken. 
  • Chicken skewers do not take very long to get perfectly grilled. Usually, 10 minutes on each side over medium heat on a bbq/grill pan. And it is surely a crime to overcook the chicken pieces because it makes them really dry and chewy.

Oh wow, this looks amazing, and I’ve never made sate like you show here. I’ll have to remedy that sad fact. Thanks so much for the inspired ideas. I love satay – i made them once with cashews yummy. i have never tried them with mince meat/poultry though and it looks like a nice alternative. love the pictures!
