Ingredients
- 4.5 pounds of chicken breasts without skin or bones, diced into 1-inch cubes
- 2 onions, roughly chopped
- A quarter cup of brown sugar
- 5 garlic cloves
- An inch-long piece of shrimp paste, also known as belachan
- 2 tablespoons of galangal powder, or lengkuas
- 1 tablespoon of coriander powder
- 2 teaspoons of cumin powder
- 2 teaspoons of anise seed powder
- 1 teaspoon of black pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
- 60 bamboo skewers
Step 1
Combine chicken cubes in a spacious bowl. In a food processor, blend onions, brown sugar, garlic, shrimp paste, galangal powder, coriander, cumin, anise seed, black pepper, and turmeric until a velvety paste forms. Stir the paste into the chicken thoroughly.
Step 2
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to let the flavors meld in the fridge for a full day. When ready to cook, position the oven rack close to the broiler and preheat it. Line a pair of baking sheets with shiny aluminum foil.
Step 3
Skewer the marinated chicken onto bamboo sticks, leaving enough room to handle them comfortably. Lay the skewers out on the prepared baking sheets. Broil the skewers until the top turns a lovely golden brown, typically around 10 minutes. Afterward, flip the skewers over and continue broiling until the other side achieves the same result, about 10 more minutes.
Step 4
To ensure the chicken is cooked through, use an instant-read thermometer; it should register no less than 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) at the center.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Marinate Strategically : Infuse your chicken skewers with flavor by marinating them in a blend of coconut milk, lemongrass, and chili paste. Let them sit in the fridge for a few hours to absorb all the deliciousness.
- 2. Pre-Cut Ingredients : Prepare all your ingredients in advance and store them in separate airtight containers. This not only saves time but also keeps everything organized for easy assembly later.
