Satay Chicken
A community recipe by MrsJonesNot tested or verified by Nigella.com
Introduction
This is a satay that my mother always made. My parents had a restaurant some years ago and this was the recipe my mother had them use. It was a hit! It's very tasty and can be as spicy as you like. I find that if you follow the recipe, you'll have a mild sauce - but I don't mind a bit of spiciness. It looks lovely on the plate if you steam your rice and then put it into a small mould (like a 1/2 cup measuring cup or something else you might have that size - something more tall than wide looks lovely) and turn it onto the middle of your plate and then spoon the chicken and satay sauce around it. It certainly looks the part and with very little effort, I think.
