   3                    skinless chicken breasts
   3                    boned and skinned chicken thighs
                        ***MARINADE***
   2                    shallots -- finely chopped
   2      cloves        garlic -- finely chopped
   1      teaspoon      ginger -- finely chopped
   1      teaspoon      ground coriander
     1/2  teaspoon      chile powder
   3      teaspoons     lime juice
   1      tablespoon    light soy sauce
     1/4  teaspoon      salt
   1      teaspoon      sugar
   2      tablespoons   peanut or olive oil

Preparation:

Mix all the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl. Set aside. Cut the chicken into 3/4-inch cubes, mix them well into the marinade and keep in a cool place for 2 hours or in the fridge overnight. When you are ready to grill the satays, put the meat on bamboo or metal skewers; about 5 to 6 cubes per skewer. Grill on charcoal or under a broiler, for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning them over once. Or you can cook the satays on a rack in a pre-heated oven at 320F for 6 to 10 minutes or until cooked through. Serve straight away with peanut sauce, either poured over the meat or served separately for everybody to help themselves.
