Supercharged Satay Chicken
Hands down my favourite recipe from book 5 – I even cooked this one live on the Today Show ?
Serving: 4
Ingredients
- 1.25kg chicken thigh fillets, sliced into strips
- 1 medium brown onion, diced
- 1 heaped tsp minced garlic
- 1 x 270g can full fat coconut cream
- 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
- 2 tsp cornflour
- 1 small red chilli deseeded and fine diced
- 80ml kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 1Tbsp brown sugar
- 1tsp fish sauce
Instructions
- Add chicken, onion and garlic to a searing slow cooker (or fry pan) and sear/seal for 5-10mins. No need to brown chicken, just seal it and soften onion.
- Combine all other listed ingredients in a jug and mix with a stick mixer or blender to thoroughly combine peanut butter through the coconut milk mix.
- Pour over chicken and onion and garlic and turn back to slow cooking setting. (If used fry pan move to slow cooker now)
- Cook on low with tea towel trick in place for 2.5hrs
- Serve on brown rice
Notes
- This produces a lovely thick strong satay sauce. You can reduce the peanut butter to ½ cup if you don’t like a strong peanut taste but we loved it exactly as it was in our family.
- You can also swap crunchy peanut butter for smooth if you prefer and add 1/3 crushed peanuts before serving if you rather.
- The 1 small chilli (without seeds) wasn’t spicy and our 5yr old happily ate this with no concerns

Absolutely delicious. My family of four loved it and there was enough left over for my lunch the next day. I used smooth peanut butter and added crushed peanuts as per the recipe suggestion. I will definitely be making this one again.
Would this work as a dump bag? Not sure how coconut cream would freeze?
You could always add the coconut cream on the day instead 🙂
Is there something that can be used to replace the soy sauce and kecap manis?
Ideal if you can get them to keep the flavour balance true as it’s meant to be 🙂
Hi what is Kecap manis and is availed at the supermarket. Thank you
It’s a sweet syrupy style of soy sauce … you’ll find it in regular supermarkets:) I use the ABC brand but there are other brands also. Do not use regular soy. It’s not the same 🙂 You’ll see it labelled kecap manis
This one is amazing! I followed the recipe exact. It is so delicious and no heat even with a large chilli. The whole family raved. It is rich but with fluffy rice and lots of steamed veg on the side I can tell this will be on regular rotation
Hi Pauline, is it just a small birds eye chilli you use?
I think so? I’m not certain I just got one from the produce section of woolies that’s about the length of my little finger 🙂
Would this work with 500g chicken breast?
Yes Nadine I just find breast fillets a little more dry than thigh fillets. You’ll need less time too of course for such a smaller amount 🙂
Delicious. I did it with rice and bok choy one night and capsicum and noodles the next night. Best satay recipe yet ?
This was amazing! It was just delicious and the whole family loved it. It will definately be a family favourite!
This was amazing! So delicious and the whole family loved it. Ithe leftovers were even better the next day. Will definately be a family favourite.
My husband and I really like this recipe. It is very rich so I make it with coconut milk instead of the cream which makes it a little less rich and always add vegetables.
If I were to use beef instead of chicken, how long would I cook it for?
Assuming it’s thin strips and you still do the first step I’d say pretty similar times actually 🙂
Amazing – made it with no changes. Perfect!
Loved it. Devoured in one sitting at my house. Even my fussy 11yr old ate it. Will definitely go on the “make again” list
Love this recipe. Will become part of our rotation. I live it as my daughters do lots of activities and this seems to keep them full
Made this at the weekend it was delicious. We all loved it and it will be made again.
I made this kast night and it was delicious. The only thing was that it was very oily. Did I do something wrong ?
I like a non oily brand of peanut butter (eg kraft) I find that helps 🙂
I loved this recipe…will do it regularly…I just cut the peanut butter down a bit. I also didn’t bother too much about chicken”strips” ..I used chicken thighs and cut them up.
Made this dish tonight, delicious! Added 2 teaspoons of curry powder. Served with the Slowcooker fried rice from this site which was also delicious. Will definitely be making theses dishes again
Absolute hit! I couldn’t get the kecap manis and substituted with oyster sauce, was still gorgeous, could have been hotter in my option but that’s just my taste. My husband wouldn’t have changed a thing.
My whole family loved this Paulene-thank you.
My alterations were
I had a cheap log of scotch fillet beef that I diced up and did not brown first.
I used Salam ombeck (crushed chillies in a jar) instead of fresh chilli. I cooked for the same cooking time as directed. I made 1.5 times the sauce as I was lazy and wanted to use the whole 440gram can of coconut cream and whole 375gram container of peanut butter.
I did seperately fry the onion and garlic and added them at the end but that’s only because my daughter has IBS and can’t eat them..
I added green beans and carrots at the 2 hour mark then snow peas and red capsicim on top as i served into bowls on top of rice which we microwaved the next night. The satay sauce was thick and tasty , meat was tender and veges perfect.
There is no need to change paulenes revipe at all as it is perfect.
I’ve just mentioned my changes in case anyone wanted to use beef instead.
My favourite!
My husband and I recently made this! Used a whole tub of smooth peanut butter 375g and 400ml coconut cream, last 20 minutes added 1/2 cup peanuts. This has been the nicest meal we’ve ever made in a slow cooker, has been added to our favourite list, would highly recommend this meal
Totally loved this recipe. So easy to to prepare. Took my slow cooker to the beach and made a double batch for 10 people. Had no complaints at all. For myself when I make it again I will be adding a little extra chili for a bit of a bite.
made this with Almond butter as we are Paleo It was absolutely delicious thank you
Absolutely beautiful!!! So easy and convenient – Fed the hordes. I made double the recipe and it tasted divine. Looked just like the piccie! This ones going on the favourites list!!!
i liked it even better the next night
i didnt measure as i was going on night shift but turned out great
threw some capsicum and cauilflour in as well to
bulk it out
we dont eat much
rice in this house
even my
housemate didnt complain about eating it two days running
Made this tonight. Lovely. Made some changes though.
1. Didn’t dice onion but rather cut into 8ths.
2. Sliced up a large red capsicum into 1cm x 2cm pieces and seared it up with the onion and chicken
3. Added 1 heaped tsp of grated ginger to the sauce
4. Doubled the fish sauce (we like it)
5. Reduced the amount of brown sugar down to 3/4 tbs
6. I used Bega Simply Nuts crunchy peanut butter. 100% nuts so no added vegetable oil . Does have salt added though
6. Served with chopped coriander.
7. When making again (and I will) I will double up on the chilli – we felt that was the only thing lacking.
BTW the 2.5 hour cooking time was perfect. Chicken was so tender.
Made this this week. Really delicious! Didn‘t have fish sauce, so I didn‘t use it. And only had 800 g chicken breast. The smell… hmmmmm… not the mention the taste! It‘s a keeper for sure!
Could this be done with chicken drumsticks?
It’s really ideal for fillets over drumsticks. The drums would add extra liquid to the sauce and take longer to cook are both things to consider if you try it 🙂
We absolutely loved this, best satay chicken I’ve made. I didn’t have a chilli so I used a tablespoon of sweet chilli sauce. It’ll be a regular in our house.
Best satay recipe ever, I also added mushrooms and beans Only because they needed to be used up. Very tasty
Help! I’ve accidentally used a 400ml can of coconut cream. How can I fix this?!!
Tips to thicken it HERE
Really creamy, delicious satay. I loved this!
This is awesome! My whole family enjoyed it & that rarely happens. Ever. ????
Delicious, new family favourite.
I use a 400ml can of coconut cream and I think it doesn’t need thickening with cornflour at all. 🙂
Would it stil taste good without peanut butter due to allergies?
No the peanut is a vital part of a satay 🙂
Best to choose another recipe xx
Supercharged satay chicken has become a regular meal in my home. It’s yummy
I made this the other day. Incredible! I didn’t add cornflour, chili or sugar and used smooth (have a 7 month old). I added 1tbsp lemongrass, and a tsp each of ground coriander and tumeric. Incredible everyone! It was super sweet from the kecap and coconut cream so for our tastes I didn’t need to add extra sugar. I added extra fish sauce to my individual plate and served with hot Jasmine rice, steamed vegetables and Asian greens. Will be making this again! Thanks for the share ?.
Oh! I also had to cook this for 3.5 hours with my slow cooker and just used M Barker diced chicken thighs.
10/10 my family love this. Most satay recipes we find a bit bland but this one is awesome. I add an extra heaped spoonful of peanut butter, an extra chilli ? and double the Kecap manis ( did this by accident the first time but loved it so continue to do it)
A favourite in our family. I use extra coconut cream and leave out the cornflour as as like it saucy!
I cooked this up with the thighs still whole and it tasted delisious. I used a 400ml can of coconut cream,added a few carrots with 30 min left, but did find it looked a bit oily at the end product.
My slow cooker didn’t allow me to put it on for 2.5 hrs on low so I manually turned it off at the given time. If I was to double the recipe I would then cook it for 3-4hrs..
Family enjoyed the flavour and like that it is quick and easy. Thanks ??
Love this recipe thank you! I use it on full chicken breasts, then fork shred them when cooked and stir in frozen stirfry veg and hoikkien noodles. Easiest dinner ever!
We love the satay recipe, it’s my go to for satay . Never buy the jar stuff again … love it. Think it might be on menu again very soon
This was lovely. We did vary it with normal normal thickened cream as we didn’t have coconut on hand, with some cornflour to thicken and avoid splitting it was quite rich so would try withcocnut cream next but family with 6 kids did enjoy. Thanks again for awesome recipes at this time.
One of my standbys as I always have these ingredients on hand (and even had them during isolation)
Pretty much the all time fav of the family. It is perfect as is – don’t change a thing!
This was amazing. Absolutely loved it. I only used 3/4 cup crunchy peanut butter and this was enough for my liking. Will definitely make this one again.
Wat setting on the slow cooker did everyone use I’m trying it for the first time
Low as recipe states 🙂
This was really yum. My son said, “This chicken is really good!” I used 1kg of chicken thigh fillets, but next time I will use 500g and add some more vegetables to the satay. I was feeding four, 2 adults and 2 teenagers, and my kids ate it all but not hubby and me. It tasted fantastic, but was too much as a serve even with 1kg of chicken thighs. I also didn’t have kecap manis, so I added 2 Tblspns of curry powder and 1tsp of paprika as a substitute. Just to give it a kick of flavour and colour. I added 1/2 tsp of chilli powder instead of a whole chilli as that’s all I had. I also used a whole can of coconut milk 400 ml, but I added water twice as the mix thickened up considerably.
First time making this WOW! I loved it. I keep going past the fridge and snacking on the leftovers. I’ll be making this again for sure.
I used a whole jar of crunchy peanut butter with a full can of coconut cream. So saucy.
We love this recipe, it’s a regular in our house. I use crunchy peanut butter and probably a bit extra than the recipe asks for. My husband loves it and has had many work colleagues jealous when he takes leftovers to work!
After all the amazing reviews, I decided to try it. WOW. So easy to cook. My brother loved it and said add this to the meal planner list.
I used smooth peanut butter as that’s what I had and didn’t use fish sauce or chilli as didn’t have any.
Can’t wait to make it again!!
What is the tea towel trick?
Tea Towel Trick
Amazing! Accidentally added a whole 400ml can of coconut cream and found that this made for a perfect satay for my family. Thanks for a great recipe!
Just amazing. So easy and so very very delicious. It’s gone to top of the last of our favourite s.
Absolutely love this recipe. It’s a weekly favourite in our house.
I usually do it with a pork fillet and the shred it at the end.
So it makes pulled pork satay instead but I still love it with chicken as well.
Divine ty
Yummy enjoyed by all tonight for dinner added beans and carrots after 2 hrs
Yum! By far, my favourite dish yet! I kept the thighs whole, and cooked for 5hrs as my SL does not get as hot as some and it came out falling apart. So good!
Such a yummy dish that the whole family loved & asked me to pleeeasse make it again!
The taste is amazing!
In future I’ll cut my thigh meat smaller just for personal preference. I needed longer than 2.5 hours but feel 2.5 hours will be adequate with smaller cuts.
I used 375g of peanut butter and 400g coconut cream as I’d read on other reviews that it made extra sauce. I’m so pleased I made extra sauce. Today’s lunch is rice, veggies and loads of satay sauce. YUMMMM.
Served it with basmatti rice, steamed green beans, steamed sweet potato and pataks pappadums!!!
The entire family loved this one!!!
We absolutely love this recipe!!!
Both of my young children love it! And my partner keeps asking me to make it.
We dont use chilli but instead use sweet chilli sauce it is perfect to cut through the peanut butter!
We’ve also put our left overs into pies which are amazing!!
This is a go-to recipe. Our family love it and it is so easy to make. I used a can of lite Carnation Milk with some coconut oil instead of coconut cream as we didn’t have any the last time – this worked a treat and provided some extra yummy sauce.
Loved it! Added fresh ginger for an extra kick
Absolutely a big yes. Thanks Paulene for another delicious recipe. I did 1 and a half times all ingredients apart from the chicken. I also used chilli oil instead of fresh chilli as I didn’t have any. 10 out of 10.
This is delicious. Used chicken breast & shredded it at the end! Absolutely scrummy. Will defo be making this again & again!
This is now one of my go to recipes!! Had it tonight and it was absolutely amazing:)
Wowzers this is hands down the best satay chicken I have ever had! This will be a regular for my family ?
Just….WOW! Loved it, added steamed green beans, carrots and parsley at the last minute and served on jasmine rice…….
Yum
Had a crack at this, very easy to prepare, followed all the instructions. I tasted the sauce before I put it in the sc, thought it tasted to much like coconut cream… added another tsp of soy.
Was worried about the peanut flavour due to whinging family members, but they liked it and even commented it wasn’t too peanuty (if that’s even a word)
Very filling and certainly will be doing again.
Very filling!
Served with jasmine rice instead of brown rice. Added 3 small carrots thinly sliced, 1 red capsicum and spinach. Added a splash more of soy.
Absolutely delicious! Way better than bottle stuff… I made skewers as my kids only like satay with sticks…. lots of sauce, not too much spice either… saved some left over sauce to dip prawn crackers in for a arvo iso homeschool snack too …..
This recipe is super easy and taste better than any bought Satay, ?? Husband had seconds and left enough for his lunch the next day!, So would say was an instant fav in our house ?
Cooked this evening, was delicious. Hubby would like it again ???? Little more spice for me would be great. Will add more next time. Generous portion sizes, plenty of leftovers ??
Really great quick easy recipe!
I halved the chilli as I have bad pregnancy heart burn, dinner still had a nice little kick. I served with coconut rice & broccoli, YUM!
My family only each chicken breast. Is it best to put them in whole, or diced?
You’ll find breast a little more dry in the end result but otherwise cook and prep them the same
This is probably the most complicated recipe I have made in the slow cooker. A: Paulene. You prep twice as fast as me. I will say I am not a great chef. Venturing out in slow cooker recipes is an adventure. B: I have never diced a fresh chilli before. I have cheated and bought chilli in a tube. C: One cup of peanut paste is a lot when you put it in the jug. D: When you use a stick mixer hold onto the bowl. Some sauce ended up on the floor. Eventually I made this to your recipe,. It was superb. Absolutely delicious. This recipe stays in my special folder for sure.
Love this honest and funny feedback! Thanks Margaret xx
Absolutely delicious and so easy to make. My 13 yr old ADHD/ODD grandson made this for tea Monday night. I cut up onions, chicken, onions and garlic. (because I can do it quicker and the onions finer. ) He did the rest. So easy and a wonderful tasting recipe. He put a pinch of chilli flakes in as I didn’t have fresh chilli. He loves to cook, so we involve him wherever possible.
10/10
Tried with thigh and breast and definitely prefer breast as I don’t like thigh much.
Also tried without the tea towel trick and that works fine too.
I don’t normally leave reviews but this recipe warranted a review for sure . I have eaten satay in 4 different countries to trial all the different versions. As a personal favourite , Indonesia (Bali specifically ) is a winner due to the awesome peanut flavour in my own opinion. This recipe is as close, if not better, than their version. I have also attempted to make my own satay sauce on more occasions than I care to count and cannot EVER make it good enough. If you love satay – this recipe is for you. I made a couple of small changes – I warmed all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan instead of whisking with a stick blender . Please do this if you are just after a gorgeous satay sauce to dunk stuff in. I also added chunky chopped red onion, red capsicum, a couple of carrots and some fresh beans to the slow cooker for a fuller dinner. That’s it – the recipe is perfect as it is and my oh my the house smells amazing! Do yourselves a favour and make this recipe. The taste is out of the world YUMMY! Only wish I could leave more stars
Thank you Lee for such a lovely review!
Wow I have been wanting to try this recipe for ages finally made this yesterday, Omg this dish was absolutely delicious and sooo yummy, will become a regular meals for us, this will go to one of my favorites, also served with coconut rice, if you have been thinking about trying this do it you wont regret it 🙂
Love love love this one. by far my fav satay chicken. Used Bega peanut crunchy peanut butter and lite coconut cream. Served with micro Uncle Bens fried rice. Just need to add some greens on the side next time. defs a keeper
I so want to try this after reading the reviews. Do you think i could leave out the fish sauce ? I’m allergic to fish (but fine with peanuts go figure). Or is there a substitute for the fish sauce?
I’m sure it would be ok to leave out 🙂
Now one of my favourites. So easy and so yummy thankyou
Definitely making this again. Husband loved it. Will be a regular in this home.
Love this satay!!! My favourite, even better than what you can buy out 🙂
Can you use tea towel method with Russell Hobbs multi cooker
Many multicookers won’t allow the tea towel trick
It’s a large drawback to not having an actual slow cooker
Does yours allow you to cook without the lid locked down? Or will the towel fit and lid still lock down?
Very yummy. This is the satay sauce recipe I have been searching for for years. So delicious.
Very happy 🙂
Paulene this recipe is delicious. We felt like we were in Malaya again. Thankyou for your generosity in sharing your recipes.
Fantastic! You all must try if you haven’t before ?
100% the best slow cooker meal I have made (the family agreed too). Zero leftovers for the freezer. The only “tweeks” I made – I only had a 170g tin of coconut cream – so I made a 2/3rds recipe. I added a wee bit of lemon grass & only 1 splash of fish sauce (the husband isn’t a fan). I only had smooth peanut butter, so added a handful of peanuts (washed off salt) to the hand blender.
Does this freeze well? I’d like to batch & freeze.
Excellent recipe. Great flavours. I like to amp it up doing a tablespoon each of minced garlic and ginger, upping the soy and fish sauce to a tablespoon each. Also adding a teaspoon of ground cumin. Used a tablespoon of sweet chilli sauce instead of fresh chilli. Have used chicken breast and it does not dry out. Love how thick and lush the sauce turns out.
Literally THE BEST satay I’ve EVER tasted
Easy to make and outstanding flavours
Served with Jasmine rice and naan bread
This recipe was easy and delicious!! I made way too much sauce for the chicken that I had for dinner. So the next day I used the sauce with the beef that I had – did the same thing and sealed the beef and onion in a pan before transferring it to the Slow Cooker. Amazing flavour!!!
Second time I have made think I will add some ginger and garlic, maybe red capsicum as others have done and carrot n beans to up the vegetables
I made this last night, the chicken was lovely and tender and the sauce was super thick. We like a bit more kick to our satay so I would probably add some more chilli next time.
Absolutely a house favourite with no leftovers! Love the flavour of this satay. Can’t get enough
Absolutely love this dish…Family always requesting it, just has so much flavour…A regular in our place
Made this with “wow butter” as my son is allergic to peanuts, it was really good, I think next time I will add some more soy, garlic and chilli as the “peanut butter” over powered all the other flavours. There wasn’t much left after we all went back for seconds. My son absolutely loved it!
AWESOME!!!!
We used half a cup of peanut butter but could easily use the full cup and still be fantastic!
Will male again!
Really good! Sauce is really thick! One thing though I think it must really depend on the brand of peanut butter you use. I added a large red chilli and still didn’t have any heat. Also mine needed more ‘saltiness’ so I added more kecap manis and soy sauce. Next time maybe I’ll try only 1/2 cup peanut butter. Either way it is delicious! Served with basmati rice (all I had) and I added some green beans 30 mins before being ready just to add some vegetables.
I don’t have any coconut cream but after reading all these amazing reviews, I must have this tonight. Is there any substitute? Or should I wake a sleeping baby to go to the shops.. lol
Sorry I only saw this comment now, did you get some 🙂
We are a house of satay lovers…..and this is one saucy satay. You have to get this in to you, hands down our favourite and is now one of our regular menu items for the week, month and year. Make it one of yours too, if you love satay, you won’t be disappointed .
One of my favourite recipes of all time ?
Absolutely delicious!! First time made, and it was a massive hit with the family. I used crunchy peanut butter and it was a really nutty flavour. The best Satay I have ever made!!
Is 2.5 hours on low long enough? So many of my other slow cooker recipes are 6-8 hours?
This recipe only needs 2.5hrs as it’s not a lot of chicken, it fillet strips and seared first 🙂
Also 6-8hr is far too long for many chicken recipes. As a general guide fillets need around 3hrs, wings around 4hrs, larger bone in pieces around 4-5hrs and whole chickens 6hrs (all low)
Oh my gosh! This is so good! I made exactly to the recipe but I estimated the coconut cream. Next time I will add a bit more chilli as it wasn’t quite hot enough for us.
First go at making this but had to substitute a few things as I didn’t have all the ingredients eg sweet chilli sauce instead of chilli, reduced cream instead of coconut cream, caster sugar, garlic powder, added mushrooms as we had some to use, and I diced the chicken instead – but it was still delicious! Served with white rice and cucumber slices. If you dice the chicken, it was done in just over 2 hrs in a 5.7 ltr SC. Hubby went back for seconds ??
Yum yum! Had this tonight and both my boys cleaned their bowls (my youngest can be a bit fussy). so easy and delicious. My 2 goals with a SC meal. Will definitely be making again
Made this tonight. I loved it. Kids enjoyed it. But it was a bit rich for hubby. I used breast because thats all I buy. It was still nice and tender. This creates a lot of sauce so could probably use more meat aswell.
All I can say is I am addicted to this, so delicious and freezes well . Definitely on my favourites list.
I used 4 average size chicken breast slices and didn’t add chilli as husband can’t eat it.
Cooked it last night,it was so yummy will be making this one again,would give this a 10 plus rating.
This was perfection on a plate! The entire family loved it and licked their plates clean. I would love to try it with a more chilli heavy kick too, but it was yummy as is! So easy to throw together with minimal effort or stress. Winner Winner!
I have been debating whether to try this for a while but I am not really that fussed on Satay . I had 2/3 of a jar of peanut butter left and thought why not. OMG!! The reason I didn’t really like Satay is because I had not tried this one. We absolutely loved it. I used chicken breasts and didn’t use chilli or fish sauce as I didn’t have them on hand. This has now gone on to our monthly menu.
Love that feedback!! Thanks Lacey 🙂 🙂
Such an easy and tasty recipe. We all loved it.
I make this on a fortnightly basis and freeze. I don’t add onion and I double the chili. A hit with the hubby, who loves taking this to work.
Made this for the first time and we loved it. Tasted yummo.. I only had coconut milk so used it and worked out fine. I also used chicken breasts. Did not add chilli ( I forgot) Also added onion powder instead of onion as my kids will not eat it if they see onion in it. I served mine with thin egg noodles and Hubby had his with Mash and greens. Will be making this again. Oh I didn’t use tea towel trick as I have a multi cooker and lid locks shut and it was fine as chicken breasts soak up the liquid so was fine.
Outstandingly delicious. Best thing I’ve ever cooked. I’ll be making it again this weekend.
This is my absolute favourite, love it (I’m not a good cook so if I can make this, any one could) enjoy, ???
This dish is definitely the best satay chicken ever!! It’s my family’s favourite meal now. Highly recommend.
And it’s supercharged satay chicken for the win tonight. So delicious and easy as. I didn’t have fish sauce so I just skipped that and instead of chillies I used a medium chilli sauce. Definitely will be a regular feature of our meals.
My family loves this recipe and it’s so easy to make!!! We skip the chilli and add cut up carrots, beans and capsicum .
Found this recipe in the slow cooker book. So tasty even my fussy 3 year old ate it and has requested it all the time. I actually cooked this in a pan as it was too late for the slow cooker and halved the sauce as I only had a small amount of chicken still perfect tho. Next time will be more organised and make sure to pop it in the slow cooker.
My husband and I loved this the first time we made it, and I’m now looking to make it for guests. If I double the ingredients, would I need to increase the cooking time? Thanks for a wonderful recipe!
Karen it should still be a similar time if you are following the recipe with pre browning etc and keeping them cut in strips. Maybe extra 30mins at most if any 🙂
Very nice, the red chilli really really helped bring it all together, delicious ?
Fantastic!! On constant rotation in our house
So delicious and full of flavour! Didn’t add the chilli because of my little ones taste preferences. Never using premade Satay sauce again!
Made this today and it was so yummy. Had enough for five more meals as it’s just me, had to make my own sweet soy sauce as I didn’t have any. Will be adding this to my list of meals to make.
All I can say is OMG ……this recipe is …….OMG …….delicioso ?????????
This one is delicious. I added the cup of crunchy peanut butter and the corn flour. Towards the end of the cooking time I found the satay to be very thick, so as Paulene suggested I added cooking cream about 150-200ml. Which gave it a creamy finish and hubby loved it.
Now I have leftovers for another night of satay chicken with rice and more for some satay ?
Incredible. Didn’t taste the “heat” so next time I’ll add a few more chillies
My fave recipe t date
I made this tonight ???? put it in wraps with lettuce onion, tomato and cheese
Made it in to a parcel and put it in the sandwich press
Absolutely love this recipe! So easy and delicious- definitely a family favourite. We all love peanut butter and there’s no such thing as too much? plate- licking-worthy.
Thanks for a great recipe Paulene.
Satay H E A V E N ! Made this one as per the recipe using crunchy PB. Served with steamed rice & leftovers for work lunches Loved every bite!!
Love this recipe
But due to fish/seafood and corn allergies. I had to change a few things. I leave out the fish sauce and replace the cornflour with arrowroot flour.
It taste great and everyone’s happy.
I followed recipe but substituted 1/2 teaspoon of dried chilli flakes instead of buying a chllli
Will be making this recipe again. Yum!
We loved this recipe. Wouldn’t change a thing. Yummy
I have made this many times, and it is always amazing. The only change I make is I use a large tin of coconut milk and towards the end I add red capsicum and zucchini or broccoli.
Tried this and it is absolutely fabulous. Many thanks!
Have made this recipe a few times now, wouldn’t make it any other way or change anything. Hubby has asked a few times for that yummy satay chicken.
Make this all the time. Make it with beef instead of chicken sometimes. Have never bothered with the tea towel as I fit it’s thick enough for us.
This was really yummy. I added a bit of lemon juice and a small amount of water as I didn’t want it too thick. It was delicious, we all enjoyed it.
Yum yum yum! I love how simple this recipe is, I absolutely love it! My husband is not a fan of chicken so I will make it again but with beef and more chilli next time. As for me – I’m sorted for work lunches this week!
Made it for the first time today! We all liked it! I think it needs some veggies to go with that rich sauce so next time I’ll serve with a big pile of green veggies on the side. Thanks!
This is the absolute best!! I made a “quick” version of satay chicken with a bottle of pre-made sauce that I’d used many times before and my son was like “that one wasn’t as nice as the last one can you do the other again”.
I’ve made the supercharged satay chicken quite a few times but I made it again tonight and changed it up a bit. I have to say that tonight’s was the best batch I’ve ever made. I bought a 400ml can of coconut cream so instead of weighing it I just added the whole can as well as a tablespoon of curry powder. I never add the fish sauce because I just don’t like it. It was soooo good. Served with white rice.
Tried this today for the first time. It is a “straight to the pool room” recipe. Absolutely delicious and will be going onto my recipe book as soon as I finish this review. The sauce is amazing and was lucky to even make it into the slow cooker. Waiting for it to cook was the hardest bit. I will be making this again. Thanks Pauline!
Straight to the pool room!!!!
hahah love it 🙂
Make this at least once a week. Super simple and so yum. I do add a tad more chilli sometimes though and usually use the bigger can of coconut cream. Even if I have less chicken I make the same amount of sauce and it’s perfect. Absolute fave
Absolutely loved it. Family said peanut flavour was a bit strong so will try it next time with less peanut butter. I used only a small sprinkle of chilli flakes as we’re not chilli eaters. Definitely recommend and will be a regular in our house.
Very Rich and very Tasty if you like Satay , gotta try this one
Forgot to take a pic last night but wish I’d made a double batch!
So delicious!
Thanks for the recipe!
Oh this is brilliant. So easy, hands down tastiest satay EVER
This is a great recipe. So easy to throw on while I’m working from home as long as I’ve chopped up the chicken the night before. We use about 2/3 of the peanut butter because we like to taste a bit more of the other flavours in the sauce. Previously we’ve served it with fresh green beans, but yesterday I just got a bag of frozen green beans, let them defrost on the bench for the day, and mixed them in for the last half hour. So easy. Fresh does taste better but this was a great quick way to get some greens in. No chopping, just open the bag and stir them in.
Third time I have made this and been a success every time. I’m no cook so this is a good thing. Daughter and partner went back for seconds. I served it on special fried rice. Didn’t use the tea towel as I wanted extra sauce for the rice. And it didn’t water it down in any way 10/10 ?
Well done Tina – sounds like you are a great cook to me!
Our favourite meal. The sauce is totally the best. It will work with any meat at all. Even just to pour over noodles with some veg is delicious ?
Love this recipe!
I swap out the chilli and brown sugar for sweet chilli sauce and it works a treat.
I often also chuck the leftovers into a stir fry! So good
We never have kecap manis or brown sugar in the house so to increase the sweetness and that rich flavour, I add sugar free maple syrup and about half a cup of pepsi max ?
I have made this a few times. Its so tasty. Easy to make. Thank you Paulene for such a wonderful recipe . My hubby just loves it saying it’s so yummy more than once. ?
Fantastic with beef substituted for chicken- miss 6 – granddaughter – helped with the prep and loved it too- thanks for easy , tasty , slow cooked goodness!
This is incredible absolutely delicious!! My ASD son who struggles with chewing meat and well trying new things loved this! He actually ate 2 bowls full- this is unheard of for him! So thank you for this amazing recipe!! I made it exactly as stated except I used beef chuck roast cut into 2-3cm pieces and cooked on low for 7 hours. Used the tea towel trick as I had no cornflour. Thank you again this will be a regular in my household- just delicious!!
I followed this recipe apart from
# I used 1.2kl Bolar blade roast
# I didn’t add cornflour or sugar
# I added the coconut milk after 8 hrs on slow.
Then I shredded the beef whilst in the sc , (it just fell apart) into the coconut milk.
Was amazing. WOW!!
I LOVE to know how it went with beef!! Thanks so much for letting us know 🙂 🙂
This is a favourite in our house. My 16 year old daughter declared that it’s her favourite slow cooker recipe. I changed it up a bit:
* Added around 400 g peanut butter (love the extra peanut taste)
* Added 3 teaspoons of diced chilli from the jar – added a bit of zing but not blow your head off.
* Added frozen veges 45 minutes before the end to bulk it out and make it a bit more healthy.
* Didn’t use the tea towel method (because I forgot!) but I don’t think it actually didn’t affect it at all. We like our dish saucy for the rice.
* Served it with boiled rice
amazing so simple yet so yummy will make again
didn’t need to change a thing
agree with you Paulene..I made this 3 weeks ago!! its a killer!! so so tasty..love love it..will be a constant in my slow cooker..thank you muchly ?
Love the flavours off this sauce – yummy satay – the bomb!
AMAZING!! Don’t be put off by the amount of peanut butter – it’s delicious!!
I made this last night and it is absolutely fabulous. I tweaked the recipe a little (I didn’t sear anything beforehand but basically followed the recipe fully. I didn’t have coconut cream so used light coconut milk.
I also didn’t have the thigh fillets. We had a very large pack of chicken pieces in the freezer purchased for the bargain price of $4 so I used that.
The sauce is thick, dark and delicious. I generally avoid sauces in jars because some are often next to tasteless. This made/concocted sauce is amazing and definitely does not fall into the category of tasteless.
I can’t wait to serve it up. Some with rice and some with coconut Dahl (from a packet).
A fabulous recipe.
What’s the ‘tea towel trick’?
Hi Claire – all explained HERE
Cooked this tonight and hubby was so pleased and as the cook, I am delighted that he enjoyed it. Taste was great. I used smooth peanut butter as it’s what available. I also put 400ml coconut cream and didn’t thicken it as we love the sauce. As we are finishing dinner, hubby asked me why I never cooked it before. Definitely be in my list. Thank you Ms. Pauline for this beautiful recipe.
So delicious and easy to make. I added some veg (sliced carrot, celery, bok choy about 15 minutes before serving so they still had some crunch. Will definitely make it again.
My all time fave and it freezes well too
Ive got 800gm chicken breast, would i need to reduce any ingredients or the cooking time ?
Breast tends to dry out so, assuming you are doing the pre cooking steps as listed etc, I’d take 30mins off the other time for breast
OMG !!!!!
This is my favourite SC recipe ever.
For those that would like to try it works brilliantly with drumsticks, low for 5 -6 hours.
Oh and that sauce is worth bottling ❤️❤️❤️
If I make double? do I need to double the cook time? or just change it to high instead of low setting?
Hi Bethany, no keep it low and only add an extra 30mins would be plenty
I have made it leaving out the cornflour and fish sauce due to food allergies and it is still wonderful
I made it and it is absolutely stunning. The put together sauce (rather than a jar) is to die for. So full of flavour. Yum 😋
I have a new favourite.
not just me my work mate loved it too.
this will be put in my rotation
Doubled the sauce was absolutely delish
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback Sue – you’re awesome for doing so!
Such a quick and extremely delicious dish!!! My family loved it and it will now definitely be on rotation for our meals list 👍👍👍 fantastic!!!
Thanks Helen so much for taking the time to leave your great feedback 🙂
Made this today and it was a hit with the family will definitely make it again and add more chilli 🌶 kids can’t wait to have it again 😀
Awesome – thanks Dee for leaving your feedback – it’s so appreciated 🙂
We had this for dinner last night. I omitted chilli as I don’t like it. Definitely on my rotation list of absolutely delicious meals. Thank you Paulene.
Thanks Lou – so pleased you love it too! 🙂
I made this for the family they loved it . I just added x coconut cream new fav
I dont know why I havent cooked this before as its absolutely amazing!
So easy to prep.
I added ginger.
Thanks for the great feedback Jan! 🙂
Thank you Paulene for this recipe.
Never been much of a fan of peanut paste so never tried the satay chicken.
As there had been a jar of peanut paste (from the grandies) sitting for ages in the pantry decided to take the plunge and have a go at making this , just using a little less peanut paste to start with and no chilli.
I got a surprise how smooth the sauce turned out and was really delicious.
Looking forward to making it again now.
Thanks Pammie that’s great to hear! 🙂
Made this the other day. I followed the recipe exactly although used bird’s eye chilli paste instead of fresh. Used crunchy peanut butter.
This dish was Soo good. the sauce is Devine. We served ours with green steam veg. Definately on the cards to make again. contemplating trying with beef also.
That’s awesome – thanks so much Kristi! 🙂
Very tasty and easy to make, got the approval from the kids, so will be definitely doing this again
So pleased you enjoyed it Ash 🙂 Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback – that’s so appreciated!
This is a solid family favourite. I always make it as per recipe with the ONLY difference being I add 3 small baby hot chillies as we like a small kick. It’s so easy, low effort and can be served with rice, noodles or even adapted to a stir fry. It’s definitely a regular in our house!
That’s great – thanks so much for leaving your feedback today Candi 🙂
Amazing! I forgot to get a chilli in the shopping, so I just added some siracha to my bowl. Miss 15 and I thoroughly enjoyed this one and we will be making it again and again. Thank you for the delicious recipe 🙂
Now that’s some great feedback – thanks Elizabeth! 🙂
Absolutely delightful dish!!
I make this quite often as it’s one of our favourites.
The sauce is so full of flavour and tastes so good.
I highly recommend you try this dish if you haven’t already- you won’t be disappointed.
Thank you Pauline 😊
What lovely feedback, thank you Dianna 🙂 🙂
I don’t usually give feedback on a recipe I have already given feedback for. Sept 2023. (Can’t believe I’ve taken this long to cook it again)!
So I won’t go into details except that I just cannot express how good this is.
😋😋😋🫶🏼❤️
hahaha love this Margaret! Some things are worth saying twice 🙂 🙂
Best ever satay recipe, loved by everyone. Am making pies with leftovers tomorrow. Will definitely be making this again ❤️
That’s so wonderful to hear Cheryl 🙂
Paulene, you are so right, I just wanted to drink that sauce. I’ve cooked this a few times but tonight I prepared the chicken and onions and my husband did the sauce and it was soooo unbelievably delicious. I say it again , you are a legend, thank you
Awww Thanks for taking the time to leave your awesome & kind review Robyn 🙂
I have a 250 ml can of Gado Gadopeanut sauce I want to use, would I till add peanut butter and coconut cream?
Given that is already a ready to eat, dipping style sauce etc or pour over sauce – I’d not replace the other two with that in this dish myself no 🙂
I make this often as it’s one of my favourites. My son is home for a few weeks after years working overseas and I made it for dinner tonight. He loved it, had seconds and asked for the recipe.
Thanks Anne taking the time to come back and leave your lovely feedback! I really appreciate you 🙂
I made this for the first time today. Hands down the best satay recipe. Beats our local takeaway. I wasn’t sure about the chilli but followed the recipe exactly and it’s amazing. I made fried rice to go with it. Will definitely make this again. 10/10.
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your lovely feedback Bec 🙂
This was the second time I made this & I’m wondering why it’s not the tenth.
Husband who would never order anything “satay” (so I didn’t tell him😄, I knew he loved it last time ) asked why I haven’t made it before. I told him I did ages ago. He said “well you need to make it again!!!” 😂
I used shin beef, no cornflour or sugar.
Added the coconut milk near the end.

Hooray!! This makes me so happy to read 🙂 Thanks Margaret – this makes me really want to try it with beef now!
This is absolutely the best! I made it for the 1st time today and was not disappointed at all! I will definitely be making this again.
What wonderful feedback!! Thanks so much Susan 🙂 🙂
Absolutely banging recipe , followed the recipe to the letter , best Satay ive made and will be the only recipe i will use , Thank you
Awwww reading this made me so happy!! Thanks Jo!! 🙂
I make this recipe quite regularly and everyone loves it. I usually don’t sear or brown the chicken beforehand, just leave it for a bit longer in the slow cooker – seems to work fine. Sometimes I put a bit more chilli in to add a bit of heat.
Thanks so much for the wonderful 5-star review Stacy! 🙂
The best home-made Satay Chicken I have ever made. Truly delicious.
How wonderful to hear! Thanks Hazel 🙂 🙂
This is the most tastiest recipe. My family love it and it is one of their favourites.
That’s wonderful! Ours too 🙂 Thanks Diane x
Simple to make but delicious. I left our the chilli at my husband’s request but it was still flavoursome. Thank you.
Fabulous 5-star feedback – Thanks Jenny! 🙂
Absolutely loved it, even one of my fussy(th3 only fussy one lol) grown up children loved it. I doubled the recipe, added some carrot and broccoli, I stir fried the vegies first, but once done, I realised that I just needed to put them in uncooked, as they kind of disappeared. I did not use the cornflour or the tea towel under the lid trick and it was still thick and so so yummy. Thankyou for such a good recipe, it’s definitely a favourite. 😊
That’s awesome to hear! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback Amy 🙂
