Equipment

  • 1 Deep Fryer

Ingredients

Marinade

  • 1/2 teaspoon light soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon chicken powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon curry powder Eastern Star or 'madras' style
  • 1/2 teaspoon Jimmy's sate sauce
  • 2 teaspoons potato starch
  • 1 large chicken breast, sliced into 6 strips

Skewers & Vegetables

  • 6 small bamboo skewers
  • oil for deep frying
  • 1/4 onion, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 green pepper, roughly chopped

Instructions

Marinade

  • In a large bowl, add 1/2 teaspoon light soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon chicken powder, 1/4 teaspoon curry powder, 1/2 teaspoon Jimmy's sate sauce and 2 teaspoons potato starch. Add 1 large chicken breast, sliced into 6 strips and mix thoroughly until evenly coated. Cover and set aside in the fridge for at least 1 hour, or overnight. Twenty minutes before you want to cook, put 6 small bamboo skewers in cold water and leave them to soak, to prevent them from burning during cooking. Thread each chicken strip onto a bamboo skewer, piercing chicken several times to ensure it's securely held on the skewer.

Cook

  • Heat oil for deep frying to 170C/340F. Carefully place each chicken skewer into hot oil and fry for about 3 minutes, or until chicken skewers are cooked through and nicely coloured. Turn skewers in the oil occasionally to ensure chicken is evenly cooked.

Serve

  • Remove chicken skewers from oil and drain off any excess. Briefly fry 1/4 onion, roughly chopped and 1/4 green pepper, roughly chopped in hot oil for 20 seconds, remove from oil with a slotted spoon and drain off any excess. Arrange vegetables on a serving plate or in a takeaway container. Place cooked chicken skewers on top and serve with satay sauce, either on the side or poured generously over chicken skewers.
