  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 4 bamboo skewers

Recipe

  • 1 pre-heat the grill to max, with the shelf about 2" below, and remove the grill from your grill-pan.
  • 2 place first three ingredients in a microwaveable container, and heat on full power until warm (about one minute max).
  • 3 slice chicken breasts in half length-ways, then into three or four "chunks" depending on size , and spear onto 4 bamboo or skewers
  • 4 using kitchen shears, cut the skewers so that they are about an inch longer than the chicken.
  • 5 place in the satay mix, and spoon over the mix, ensuring all the chicken is covered.
  • 6 you can now leave this in the fridge, or cook immediately; it needs no real marinading time.
  • 7 place the kebabs on the base of the grill-pan, and spoon over some of the remaining mix.
  • 8 when mix starts to blacken (about five - ten minutes) turn the chicken over using tongs, and repeat the process for the second side -- the whole cooking process is about 15 minute; any more and the chicken may be dry.
  • 9 remove from heat and place on serving plate, remembering to scrape up and add all the burned caramelized sauce (believe me; someone will sit there and eat it all!) serve immediately.
