A good chicken satay is one I can really appreciate. At least, when its authentic. Today, I tell you guys about my recipe for Saté Ajam. I love to bbq, but don’t think I will get the BF to go outside and bbq with the stormy autumn weather present. So as I was craving some, I had to come up with an indoor version.
This chicken satay is perfect to combine with a Nasi Goreng, but also with Lontong (Indonesian sticky rice) or Petjil (Indonesian steamed vegetable dish) served with some peanut sauce. Today, I cooked a lunch dish for the boys from Koken met aanbiedingen, served with a sweet and sour cucumber salad and freshly baked bread. Selamat makan!

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! PS This recipe is certainly not an authentic traditional satay. It is a basic tasty meal that is made and enjoyed in our home and has been named satay because of the ingredients. http://tasteusa.blogspot.com
