Ingredients
20 small wooden skewers
2 limes
1/3 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 small garlic cloves, minced, or 2 tsp bottled chopped garlic
2 tsp hot chili-garlic sauce
1/2 tsp salt
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
4 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp dark sesame oil
Instructions
Soak skewers in water for 20 minutes. Finely grate 1 tbsp (15 mL) peel from limes into a large bowl. Stir in cilantro, vegetable oil, garlic, chili-garlic sauce and salt.
Cut chicken lengthwise into 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick strips. Stir into cilantro mixture to coat. Refrigerate if not using right away.
When ready to cook, position oven rack in top third of oven. Preheat broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and brush with vegetable oil or coat with cooking spray. Then thread 1 strip of chicken onto each skewer. Place on baking sheet. (It will be a tight fit.)
Broil until meat is lightly golden and firm to the touch, 7 to 9 minutes. You don't need to turn skewers. Sprinkle with more cilantro if you wish. In a small bowl, stir soy sauce with sesame oil for dipping. Arrange skewers and dipping sauce on a platter. Add lime wedges for squeezing over satays if you wish.
