Chicken satay

For the paste, put all the ingredients in a food processor or blender with 1½ tsp salt and blitz until smooth.

For the marinade, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, mixing thoroughly. Once combined, stir the paste into the marinade.

Add the chicken to the marinade and stir to coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hrs, or ideally overnight. Meanwhile, put 10-12 wooden skewers in a tray filled with water and leave to soak for at least 1 hr or up to overnight (this will keep them from burning).

Once the chicken has marinated, thread the pieces onto the skewers, dividing them equally between the skewers. Cook the skewers on a hot barbecue for 2 mins on each side until well-seared and cooked through. Or, do this in a cast-iron pan over a high heat. Serve immediately with peanut sauce alongside.
