BBQ CHICKEN SATAYS

Category: Kabobs/Kebobs/Skewers

2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips (about 4-5 per breast)
18 oz favorite BBQ sauce
1 bunch cilantro, lower stems (section without leaves) removed, coarsely chopped (plus more for garnish)
1 head garlic (about 15 cloves), removed from skin
2 jalapenos, seeded and coarsely chopped
3 inch knob of ginger, peeled, chopped
1/2 tbsp salt
32 bamboo skewers

Preheat the oven to 350. In a small food processor, puree the BBQ sauce, cilantro, garlic, jalapenos, ginger, and salt.

In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken strips with the marinade. Let stand in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes, or up to 4 hours.

While the meat is marinating, soak your bamboo skewers in warm water.

Thread each chicken strip onto a skewer and place on a foil-lined cookie sheet. The skewers can line up next to each other in both directions, so the wood is meeting in the middle. Cook in the oven for 10-15 minutes until chicken is cooked through, spooning the excess sauce over the pieces of chicken halfway through the cooking process.

Fan out on a platter, with the skewer ends facing out and garnish with a handful of cilantro leaves. Can be served room temperature.
