Ingredients

• 500 g chicken thighs
• 1 onion
• 2 tbsp sunflower oil
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp sweet soy sauce
• 1 lime
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 1 tsp ginger powder
• 3 tsp sambal oelek
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp brown caster sugar
• Satay sticks

Preparation

Make the marinade

In a blender, combine the juice of half a lime with the cumin, turmeric, sea salt, ground ginger, sugar, and sambal sambal. Make a herb marinade and set aside. Roughly chop the garlic and onion and sauté them in a pan with a little oil until translucent. Add the herb marinade to the translucent garlic and onion and cook for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, add the soy sauce and stir to combine. Remove the marinade from the heat and transfer it to a large bowl.

Marinate the chicken

While the marinade is cooling, dice the chicken thighs. Once the marinade has cooled, add the chicken thighs, making sure they are thoroughly mixed. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid and let it sit overnight for best results.

Set the sous vide device to 64 °C

Take a pan or sous vide container and fill it with warm water. Set the sous vide appliance to 64°C.

Thread the chicken

Strain the chicken thighs from the marinade and thread them onto the skewers.

Yarn

Place the chicken satay in the sous vide bags. Place the sous vide bags in the water bath and set the timer for 60 minutes. When the timer goes off, pat the chicken satay dry with a cloth and then cook it over high heat with a little butter until golden brown. You can also grill the skewers.

Make it even more delicious

Complete the dish with peanut sauce.
