Ingredients

For the Marinade

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp Black Garlic Paste
2 cloves white garlic – crushed
2 tsp brown sugar
1 tbsp Black Garlic Soy Sauce or soy sauce
1 tbsp curry powder
3 tbsp BGK’s Black Garlic Peanut Butter or commercially available smooth peanut butter

2 large chicken breasts (500g) – cubed
8 wooden skewers – soaked in water to prevent burning

For the Black Garlic Satay Sauce

3 tbsp Black Garlic Soy Sauce or soy sauce
1 tbsp Black Garlic Paste
2 tbsp brown sugar
3 tbsp BGK’s Black Garlic Peanut Butter or commercially available smooth peanut butter
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tbsp runny honey
200ml full fat coconut milk
2 cloves Black Garlic – chopped

Garnish

Salad leaves
1 lime
Sesame seed (optional)
2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander

Method

Put all the ingredients for the marinade into a non-metallic bowl. Mix well.
Add the cubed chicken to the marinade. Stir until the chicken is well coated. Cover the bowl with cling film. Leave in the refrigerator to marinate overnight.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 180C/160Cfan/Gas4.
Thread the cubes of chicken onto the skewers and place on a non-stick baking tray.
Bake the skewers in the oven for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Meanwhile, make the Black Garlic Satay Sauce by mixing all the satay sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Warm the sauce through over a low heat, stirring from time to time. If the sauce thickens too much add a little more coconut milk.

To Serve: put the salad leaves onto a platter. Pour the warm Black Garlic Satay Sauce into a bowl. Place the Black Garlic Chicken Satay skewers onto the salad leaves. Squeeze over the juice of a lime. Sprinkle over the sesame seeds (if using) and the chopped coriander. Serve the bowl of Black Garlic Satay Sauce alongside the platter. BGK’s Black Garlic Gado-Gado Salad makes an excellent accompaniment.
