Cupcake, the Bulldog, Can Smell the Satay

Cupcake is no longer with us but we shall never forget her. She was a very talkative dog ... just trust me. Of course, we could never get her talking on video.



And here's the recipe for Satay 

Satay (or Saté)
You'll need:
10 lbs. chicken thighs (don't use the legs; cut away all the fatty parts of the thighs)


Ingredients for Marinade Sauce:

⅔ C. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. ground coriander
1 large onion, chopped
2 tsp. chicken bouillon
7 cloves of garlic
Marinade the meat and freeze, protected with aluminum foil


Ingredients for the Barbecue Sauce (yes, more sauce: brush on while barbecuing)

1 bowl (medium size breakfast cereal bowl) of sweet soya sauce
3 Tbsp. sugar (we tried raw this time and it was pretty tasty)
2 Tbsp. lemon juice (we used the juice of real lemons, like from our tree)
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 Tbsp. granulated garlic powder

Let's Cook

Cut chicken into bite-size cubes. Mix ingredients of marinade sauce together and marinate the chicken. Refrigerate overnight. Put about 5 pieces of chicken cubes on each bamboo skewer. Then mix the ingredients of the barbecue sauce and baste chicken generously while on the barbecue. We use a paint brush ... a clean one.

The cutting and the sticking takes a long time, but it's worth it.
