- Toast the cumin, fennel and coriander until fragrant. Grind the spices until fine then add cinnamon, sugar and salt.
- Grind the lemongrass, turmeric, shallots and roasted peanuts.
- Mix the wet paste with the dried spices then marinade the chicken well with this mixture for at least 2 hours. Add a little cooking oil to the marinating meat to keep it moist.
- Put at least 5 chicken cubes on a skewer then grill the satay over a barbecue (preferably charcoal to get the smoky flavour too).
- Brush the chicken frequently with cooking oil and cook until done. Serve with peanut sauce.
