Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• ½ lemon, juiced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• ½ teaspoon ground cumin
• 6 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons peanut oil

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Put wooden skewers in a shallow dish and cover with water. Let soak for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Place chicken strips into a bowl. Combine soy sauce, tomato sauce, peanut oil, garlic, pepper, and cumin in a small bowl; mix to combine. Pour over chicken strips and mix so chicken is well coated on all sides. Marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, make the peanut sauce. Add 1 tablespoon oil to a hot skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook and stir until onion is soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add peanut butter, sugar, soy sauce, and water. Mix well. Cook until sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Add lemon juice and remove from heat.

Step 4

Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Thread each chicken strip onto a skewer.

Step 5

Place skewers on the preheated grill and cook for a total of 10 minutes, flipping once halfway through cooking. Serve the satay skewers immediately with the peanut sauce for dipping.
