Malaysian satay is just like Thai or Indonesian ones but there is a difference in taste. Give it a try. No need to barbeque, just grill them in your oven. Serve with Malaysian satay sauce.

Step 2

Place onions, brown sugar, garlic, shrimp paste, galangal powder, coriander, cumin, anise seed, black pepper, and turmeric in the bowl of a food processor. Grind into a smooth paste. Transfer to bowl with chicken; mix well to coat chicken.
Step 3

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
Step 4

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil.
Step 5

Thread chicken onto bamboo skewers, leaving enough space to hold skewers. Arrange skewers on baking sheets.
Step 6

Broil in the preheated oven until top is browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; flip all the skewers over. Return to the oven and broil second side until browned, about 10 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Cook's Notes:

Substitute white pepper for the black pepper if desired.

Substitute white sugar for the brown sugar if desired.

Editor's Note:

Galangal is a plant in the ginger family. Substitute powdered ginger for the galangal if needed.

These are very tasty. The skewers burned though. I even soaked them in water for an hour before cooking. Maybe a bit more than six inches is necessary to get the chicken cooked without burning the sticks. As for the flavor it s out of this world. Read More
