Ingredients

For the marinade

  • 1 tablespoon lemongrass minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ginger minced/grated
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed/grated
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 dash cayenne pepper or more to taste
  • 1 lb chicken 450g, breast or thighs

For the sauce

  • 4 ½ tablespoon peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoon water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon tamarind concentrate
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 clove garlic crushed/grated

Instructions

  • Mix together marinade ingredients in a container big enough for your chicken.
  • Cut chicken into around 1in chunks, across the grain as far as possible, and toss in marinade. Leave to marinate in the fridge for at least an hour, 3-4 if you have it.
  • Mix together the sauce ingredients and set aside until ready.
  • Thread the marinated chicken on to skewers and grill on the BBQ or under a broiler/grill until lightly charred and chicken is cooked through, around 15mins although it will depend on your grill and size of chicken pieces.
