Peanut Miso Chicken Skewers Recipes

PEANUT MISO CHICKEN SKEWERS

Steps:

• Combine the lemon grass, coriander, turmeric and chilli powder in a glass or ceramic dish. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to develop the flavours.
• Meanwhile, to make the satay miso sauce, heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, for 10 minutes or until golden. Add the lemon grass and ginger and cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until aromatic. Add the peanuts, coconut milk, miso, palm sugar and soy sauce and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens slightly.
• Preheat a barbecue grill or chargrill pan on high. Thread the chicken pieces evenly onto the skewers. Cook on grill for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
• Arrange the cucumber and coriander on serving plates and top with chicken skewers. Serve with satay miso sauce, steamed rice and lime wedges.

MISO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine butter, miso, honey, rice vinegar and black pepper in a large bowl and mix with a spatula or spoon until it is well combined.
• Add chicken to the bowl and massage the miso-butter mixture all over it. Place the chicken in a single layer in a roasting pan and slide it into the oven. Roast for 30 to 40 minutes, turning the chicken pieces over once or twice, until the skin is golden brown and crisp, and the internal temperature of the meat is 160 to 165 degrees.

CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Start charcoal or gas grill or heat broiler; fire should be moderately hot, and rack should be at least 4 inches from heat. If using wood skewers, soak them in water.
• Put peanut butter in a small saucepan over medium heat; add curry paste or powder, salt and enough coconut milk to achieve a creamy but quite thick consistency. Cook over low heat, whisking, until smooth; do not boil. Cool a bit, then stir in nam pla and lime juice.
• Marinate chicken in this mixture for 5 minutes to an hour. Skewer chicken chunks, then grill or broil slowly, until nicely browned and cooked through, 10 minutes or longer. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro and accompanied by lime.

SAM CHOY'S PEANUT BUTTER MISO CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients then add chicken. Marinate for at least an hour. The amount of ingredients depends on how much chicken you're using. I would say the above is enough for about 3-4 pounds of chicken.
• Fire up your grill and cook until done. Oh, you can finish off that beer (if you haven't already done so) that you had to spare a half cup for this recipe!
