Sate Ayam
Indonesian grilled chicken skewers served with spicy peanut sauce and sweet soy sauce.
About Sate Ayam
Sate Ayam is Indonesian chicken satay: small pieces of seasoned chicken grilled on skewers and served with sauce. This profile follows Indonesian author Devy Dar's version with a cooked spice-oil coating, peanut sauce and kecap manis.
Grilled chicken carries savoury onion, garlic and coriander notes, with optional makrut lime leaves adding citrus fragrance. Roasted peanuts make the sauce rich and nutty, while bird's-eye chilli, sugar and sweet soy sauce balance heat, sweetness and saltiness.
The skewers develop browned, lightly charred edges while staying juicy inside. A thick, slightly grainy tan peanut sauce coats the chicken, finished with a dark glossy drizzle of kecap manis.
