Chicken Satay Skewers Recipe [Peanut Free]

My kids love Chicken Satay Skewers. They’re great for packed lunches and picnics but the one’s from the supermarket are so expensive and full of additives. So I’ve made my own Chicken Satay Skewers. They’re much cheaper and healthier. I’ve also made them peanut free so that my kids can share them with their friends and take them in their school lunch boxes.

Ingredients

Chicken Thighs
Soy Sauce 1/4 Cup
Brown Sugar 2 Tablespoons
Garlic
Turmeric
Ground Ginger
Salt
Coriander
Milk
Lime Juice

How to Make Chicken Satay Skewers

Start by making the marinade.

Mix together the spices with the soy sauce, sugar and a splash of milk. The quantities aren’t crucial, if you like garlic add plenty, if you don’t have a sweet tooth hold back on the sugar.

Chop the chicken thigh into bite sized pieces. You could totally use chicken breast if you prefer. I’m only using chicken thighs because they are cheaper than breasts.

Add the chicken pieces to the marinade.

Pop the mixture into the fridge to marinade. If you can only leave it half an hour than that’s OK but if you can leave it for a few hours or overnight than the flavours will be more intense.

I like to cook Chicken Satay in the air fryer. I cook it for about 10 minutes giving it a good shake half way through. If you don’t have an air fryer you could cook the Chicken Satay in a conventional oven. Pop them in at gas mark 4 for about 30 minutes.

Cut open one of the pieces of chicken to check that they are cooked through.

You can each Chicken Satay just like this but I like to thread the chicken pieces onto Skewers for a bit of fun for the kids. It makes them a little neater to eat for parties and packed lunches too.

I do hope that my Chicken Satay Skewers Recipe recipe has inspired you to have a go at making your own lunch box treats.
