DIRECTIONS
Dice the chicken into bite sized pieces.
Mix together the dry spices, garlic, ginger, sugar, and sambal . Add the chicken and mix to coat. Leave to marinade in the fridge for as long as you have time for, (min 1 hr but best overnight).
Skewer the chicken onto metal or wooden skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water beforehand, this prevents the wood from burning during the cooking process. This should yield 6-8 skewers, 3 each as a main, or 2 each as a starter.
Place skewers on the barbie and grill, so that they are not touching. Cover grill. Grill chicken until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes, turning once. or fry in a non-stick pan or grill pan in coconut oil. Turn often until the juices run clear.
Serve smothered in sate sauce with lime wedges, Dutch style, with chips! (Fries).
