Chicken satay…the mere mention of the two words conjures up a mental picture of perfectly grilled and nicely charred chicken marinated with exotic spices and served with the addictive peanut sauce, with a side of cucumber. Chicken satay is one of the most popular Asian appetizers and they are loved by many people.
There are many variations of chicken satay recipes from Asia, but let me tell you that the best satay comes from Malaysia, my home country. Ask any foodies and chefs who have been to the entire Southeast Asia region and they will agree with me. While Thai chicken sate is delicious, they can’t be compared to the deep and rich flavors of Malaysian chicken satay.
This chicken satay recipe has been tried and tested by many readers. They are absolutely mouthwatering and delightful. Enjoy!

kl changs,
Ketupat I don’t know how to make yet, also, I don’t even know where can I find the leaves. I am not a big fan of peanut sauce…it’s too sweet and gooey for my taste, I like my Satays plain. Yes, I did capture some pictures with Timun, but Onions are kelefe, not the centerpiece I reckon! ;)

I would like to try this recipe for a family gathering but I want to ask. Should I put the marinating chicken in the fridge or not? Can I use the same recipe for mutton? ? Thank you!

Yes and yes.

woahhhhh…. i think even satay in Mal dont look that good
Rasa Malaysia
Hey Teckiee,
Thanks for your kind comment. Malaysian satays usually come with dark meat, and also a little bit of chicken fat / skin threaded in between the meat pieces…very juicy and “succelent.” Mine was a little dry because I used white meat (chicken breasts), but they turned out good.

Wow, also coming from Claude-Olivier’s blog and I must admit I am trying very much to keep from licking my screen! Good thing I ate a lot tonight :-) I will most definitely try your recipe very soon. Do you think I can grind the spices by hand or must they be pulverized? Do you think replacing the kejap manis with sweet condensed milk would be tasty? I’ll keep you posted with the results…

Vkeong – go have your fix now. :)
Tiga – yes, they are delicious.
Param – no ice kacang yet, will have to try making them soon.
Lyn – I like my satay without the peanut sauce because it tends to cover the flavor. I do not really have a healthy and less fatty version of satay sauce, but I will try to make one with the satay sauce the next time. ;)
Simcooks – I don’t really eat beef so sorry. :(
Gracianne – welcome and thanks for your comment. Hello from USA. :)
Marie-Helene – Thanks and welcome.
You can pound the spice paste using a mortar and pestle but it’s very hard to grind by hand. Do not replace the kejap manis with sweet condensed milk because it taste totally different. If you do not have kejap manis, you can always use soy sauce, but add sugar to it. Do let me know the results. ;)

i cannot imagine oyster sauce with satay. how close to the original taste is your satay?
malcolm
Simcooks:I Used to live in Indonesia where much of the meat was water buffalo and intrinsically tough. The locals recommended wrapping it overnight in papaya leaves (they have some enzyme in them)…although I don’t know how easy they are to get your hands on! Another tip is to give it a good bashing with a hammer.
Rasa: recipe looks great…will try it out tomorrow!
ChemicalSpecialist
Dude, the papaya leaves method are primitive but it still work. Take very long time.
Suggest meat tenderiser sold in supermarket. Tried the butterfly brand in Malaysia before. Work as printed on the label.
[Sensitive issue regarding Pork]
Haha, sorry for non-pork eater member, but I use pork instead while I was in Vietnam.
Din have the material to do the peanut sauces. The taste was heavenly. Bloody workmates bring their own pork supply for me to make satay for them as mine supply was finished.
One good thing about this meat type is you do not need to marinate very long, 10-15 minutes enough for the taste to seep in the meat.

OMG! everyone has to try making this , i was able to make it at school and it turned out to be delicious, i strongly strongly recomend it !

There is no relation between Kebab and satay. The origin of Satay is from Indonesia, Java Island. I am a Malay and I know which food originated from Malay and which one is not.

No joke, Satay is the signature dish of Malaysia Airlines’ Business Class (Golden Club Class) and has been awarded SkyTrax signature dish award before.
So get in on the act and do yourself a good satay.
If you want to go an extra step, grill the sticks over charcoal – try bringing back a satay brazier from Malaysia. The aluminium satay burner is a good souvenier – a bit bulky but light, you can pack things inside it so it doesn’t waste space in your suitcase.

my mother-in-law taught me to use honey to sweeten the satay…it’s aroma is fantastic…I will definitely try kecap manis sometime

i did a search for recipes and thought this was awesome. I’m Malaysian and have lived abroad for the last 26 years. I still miss the satay man with the grill on the back of his modified vespa!! Growing up in the ‘burbs of KL, you watch TV with the grills locked and the doors and windows open and wait and wait for the satay man … Things were good back then, even if we had 3 English movies and TV3 recycled them over and over. I’m definitely going to make this satay this weekend as I often cook OUR food still despite the Mat Salleh husband..LOL. I especially love the fact you don’t have “weird” things in it and I can get all the stuff from the local grocery store. thanks for the lifeline…Missing M’sia.

I made this along with the peanut sauce the other night when I had company over. Simply divine. My guests and husband enjoyed the meal thoroughly. I also made some beef satay with the same marinade ingredients. I used beef tenderloin. The texture was different from what I am used to in Asia….. a little too tender. What part of the beef would you recommend?

Hi Rasa Malaysia! Your Satay recipe is fantastic! Thank you! I did it a few months ago and it turned out really well like this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/4091022000/in/set-72157622646554325/
I also made it for a party with my colleagues from UK and they loved it too.
Just two questions please, how long do you grill it for in total? I use an oven and at 180degree celsius, I leave the satay in for about 13mins, flipping it once at the 7th minute… It turns out tender which is the way I like it.
Rasa Malaysia
I don’t remember how long, but I grilled them until they are cooked and slightly charred. If you use oven, I strongly recommend you to grill them over fire (even using a stove top) quickly for some char, it’s awesome. :)

“Satay may have originated in Java, Indonesia. It is popular in many other Southeast Asian countries, such as: Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, the southern Philippines and Vietnam and in the Netherlands, as Indonesia is a former Dutch colony.”
It is not Malaysian. it’s just popular in many countries, including Malaysia. so please don’t say that it’s Malaysians k.
Rasa Malaysia
I do not disagree with you and understand where satay is popular at, this is a Malaysian satay recipe because the taste is distinctlively different from the other type of satay in the region, and the recipe is different, hence it’s truly Malaysian taste regardless of the origin. There are sayings that satay originated from the Middle-east, too.

@Alex, Rasamalaysia made no reference specifying that these Satay’s were exclusively Malaysia. In fact, she even acknowledged how satay recipes varies in taste in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. She merely pointed out this specific recipe she has posted is as close and authentically matched to Malaysian Satay. And unlike what you have done, quote a paragraph and not give credit, I’m going to put the link that you plagiarized from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satay
You have also failed to mentioned that the word Satay in Indonesian and Malaysian is of Tamil origin, suggesting that it’s an adaptation [stolen is too crude of a word to use here] of an Indian kebab; which Rasamalaysia also mentioned.
Read, comprehend RasaMalaysia’s paragraph first and cite your sources accurately without any bias before you make a fool of yourself. Everyone is entitled to a bit of patriotism, but nobody likes a patriotic wanker.

Hi Bee, The tradination satay has spices but the Chinese satay has non. I still prefer the old fashion satay sold by Malay. From far you can smell the aroma of Jintan manis & Jintan puteh = Fennel & Cumin. Must add in a bit more sugar, ( Must important is to add in some water, starch powder/ tapioca flour to make them more tender and juice as I combine Chinese method in it, add in the water, stir with hand until all water adsorbed and add in some more as depends what type of chicken and parts of chicken. while we chill for 10-12 hrs all the water will be gone ) Satay sticks must be soaked for hrs too. During grilling, brush them with santan and some oil added in it please.
Try it may be you will like it and keep our Malaysia traditional Satay. Say to say nowadays hardly can find this aroma satay, some don’t service with satay sauce any more, when asked, they said the sauce has added to the satay. Lazy to cook it.
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Rebecca, thanks for your comment. Oh yes, I looooooooove Malay satays, they are the best. In fact, whenever I go back to Malaysia, I would only order Malay satay. I know what you mean by the jintan putih and jintah manis, they are absolutely aromatic and delicious, my favorite kinds but hard to come by these days even with Malay vendors. My satay is the Chinese version and this recipe was created in 2006, a long time ago. If I were to redo satay again today, the recipe would be very different. Seems like I need a new and proper satay recipe published here soon! :)

Hi. I just ran into your site while googling “thai satay recipe”. I ended up following your recipe because of all the reviews, and that I had the ingredients on hand. I did not have a food processor, so I used a garlic press to mince all the shallots. Whew! Let’s say I only managed to pressed through 4 shallots. After all, I only had 4 hours left to marinade it til dinner time. And I had to sub curry powder instead of straight turmeric. I didn’t skewer, but just pan fried 2 min on high heat, then flipped the chicken pieces for another 2 min on the other side. They caramelized and charred nicely. Chicken was super tender, event the smaller burnt pieces. And everyone loved it!
I’ve always tried to make chicken satay just from my own caprice, and it’s always came out terribly. Dry, tough, flavorless, even chicken thigh meat. I followed your recipe with the chicken breasts and it came out perfect for the first time, ever. Thank you so much and I look forward to trying other recipes in your array.
