It's all about the joy of home cooking, using easy-to-find ingredients and straightforward steps. The secret to making delicious Satay Taichan lies in the marinade and the grilling technique. The chicken is usually marinated for several hours in several spices before being skewered and cooked over an open flame (BBQ grill) or non-stick pan. Cooking over charcoal makes the chicken satay have a delicious smoked taste while keeping it juicy on the inside. The difference between chicken satay and Satay Taichan lies in its appearance. Chicken satay is usually brown when it's grilled, but in Taichan Satay it's usually off-white. The seasoning is also different, chicken satay usually uses peanut sauce, while Taichan Satay uses spicy seasoning. The spices used to marinate the chicken are also different. Chicken satay usually uses a variety of spices, such as ginger, shallots, garlic, candlenut, galangal, etc. Meanwhile, Taichan Satay is only marinated with salt, pepper, and lime water. And of course, the tastes of chicken satay and Taichan Satay are very different, but both are still delicious! Here's an easy recipe for Satay Taichan along with the steps to make it.
