Grilled Chicken with Sateay Sauce

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and thyme.
    • Add the chicken breasts, ensuring they are evenly coated with the marinade.
    • Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
  2. Grill the Chicken:
    • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
    • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the grill.
    • Cook for approximately 10 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through with clear juices.
    • Remove the chicken from the grill, cover with foil, and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  3. Prepare the Satay Sauce:
    • Heat olive oil and sesame oil in a small, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
    • Add red onion, garlic, ginger root, and red pepper flakes. Sauté for 10-15 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
    • In a bowl, whisk together vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, peanut butter, ketchup, sherry, and lime juice.
    • Add the whisked mixture to the pot with the onions and stir well.
    • Cook for 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the satay sauce to cool slightly before serving.
    • Serve the grilled chicken with the satay sauce on the side or drizzled on top. Enjoy!
