Indonesian chicken satay – or Sate Ayam in Indonesian – is simply delicious and moreish. It’s one of the most sought-after street foods in Indonesia.
You will almost always find a seller or restaurants and other places to eat that sell this grilled chicken on the stick.
This modest but yummy dish is favoured among Indonesian cuisines that it is now considered as one of the national foods. And it was officially chosen as one by the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, together with Gado-gado, Nasi goreng, Soto, and Rendang.
Satay is an influence from the Arab traders who came to the country hundreds of years ago. This food is basically the Indonesian version of middle-Eastern kababs/ kabobs/ kebabs. They are all grilled meat pieces on a skewer.
And there are many types of satay, i.e. chicken satay, goat satay, beef satay, pork satay, etc. However, the most well-liked are the ones made with chicken and goat’s meat.
The way Indonesians make satay is easy and straightforward. We don’t put too many spices or herbs to marinate the meat before cooking.
