How to cook it
-
Cut the chicken into bite-size cubes.
-
Blend half the garlic with the shallots, coriander, and turmeric into a paste.
-
Toss the chicken with the paste, kecap manis, 1 tbsp oil, and half the salt, and marinate at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
-
Meanwhile, blend the peanut butter, coconut milk, remaining garlic, red chili, palm sugar, lime juice, and remaining salt into a smooth peanut sauce, thinning with a splash of water if needed.
-
Warm the peanut sauce in a small pot over low heat, stirring, until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes, then set aside.
-
Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers.
-
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high and brush with the remaining oil.
-
Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until charred at the edges and cooked through, about 10 minutes total.
