Method

• step 1

  Whisk together all of the marinade ingredients in a bowl until smooth. Set aside a few spoonfuls of the sauce for drizzling later and combine the chicken with the rest of the marinade, coating well. Marinate for at least 20 mins or up to overnight for a deeper flavour.

• step 2

  Thread the chicken pieces onto skewers ready for cooking. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the skewered chicken for 6-8 mins until browned and cooked through. Alternatively you can also grill until charred on the edges.

• step 3

  Meanwhile make the quick pickle by combining the julienned vegetables, coriander, chilli, lime juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Set aside.

• step 4

  Serve the skewers with a squeeze of lime and the remaining satay sauce alongside steamed rice and the quick pickle or fresh vegetables.
