Satay chicken skewers

This recipe makes a lot of sauce, and I used about 10 chicken thigh fillets to make about 25 skewers using this recipe. You could always make this and keep it in the fridge until you're ready to use it all up. 

Marinade:
1/4 cup lemongrass
1/2 purple onion
4 garlic cloves
3 chillies
1 1/2 tbspn galangal
2 tspn cumin
1/2 tspn tumeric
3 tbspn coriander
4 tbspn dark soy sauce
4 tbspn fish sauce
5 tbspn brown sugar
3 tbspn peanut oil

Throw all this in a blender or food processor.Marinate the chicken for at least an hour before cooking. 

Peanut dipping sauce
1 1/2 cups unsalted roasted peanuts
1/2 cup water
1 tbspn dark soy
3 cloves garlic
2 tspn peanut oil
1 tbspn brown sugar
2 tbspn fish sauce
2 tspn lime juice
1 tbspn chilli
1/3 coconut milk
1/4 tspn salt and pepper

Throw it all in a blender or food processor. Taste it for flavours, and adjust as you see fit.
