Making taichan satay at home is not only easy but also fun, especially if done with family or friends.
With simple ingredients and the right cooking tips, taichan satay is ready to be the star of the New Year’s dinner table.
1. Pay attention to the type of chicken cut
The type of chicken cut greatly influences the results of the taichan satay, especially the texture and cooking duration. Chicken thighs produce juicy and tender results, while chicken breasts tend to be denser and drier.
If you like a dry texture, choose chicken breast, while for a juicier texture, use chicken thighs. A combination of the two can also be an option for a more balanced taste.
2. Set the heat to medium
When grilling Taichan satay, use medium heat to keep the meat cooked evenly without burning.
If the fire is too high, the surface of the meat will cook quickly but the inside will still be raw. With medium heat, the chicken meat will be cooked perfectly and remain juicy.

Taichan satay doesn’t require a lot of seasoning so its original color remains bright. To maintain color and doneness, just turn the satay as needed.
When the meat starts to look yellowish and the texture is soft, that’s a sign that the satay is cooked and ready to be served.
One of the characteristics of Taichan satay is the bright color of the meat because it is not marinated in soy sauce or peanuts like regular chicken satay.
A simple marinade with salt and lime is enough to give it a distinctive savory taste.
5. Serve with simple chili sauce and accompaniments
Taichan satay is usually served with spicy chili sauce, lime and a little mushroom broth to enhance the taste.
The simplicity of this complement is actually an attraction because it does not cover up the already delicious taste of the meat.
6. Different savory and spicy taste
Unlike ordinary chicken satay which is sweet because of soy sauce, taichan satay relies on the savory taste of marination and the spiciness of the chili sauce.
This taste makes Taichan satay taste lighter but still appetizing, especially when enjoyed with warm rice.
