Gluten-Free Chicken Satay

Several skewers of gluten-free chicken satay on a striped cutting board.  They are sprinkled with green onions and sitting next to a bowl of peanut sauce.

A tasty gluten-free version of traditional chicken satay. The tweaks are so subtle, you'd never know it was any different from the original!

Chicken Satay is one of those dishes that is SO close to being gluten-free... but isn’t.

The soy sauce included in both marinade and dipping sauce renders restaurant satay inedible to most with gluten issues.

It's such a small thing, yet ends up meaning that most restaurant-made satay is off limits.

So, if you’ve got to make it at home, best start with an amazing recipe!

Gluten-Free Chicken Satay

This is one of the recipes from Beyond Flour 2.

“The chicken stays nice, tender, and juicy from this marinade, and the dipping sauce is perfect for it - It compliments the chicken so well, and is amazing on its own - I feel like I could just take a spoon and eat it by itself. I could live on this.” - my husband’s view on it.

The sauce can be made ahead, or just as you're grilling the chicken.

I like to serve the sauce hot, but it can also be served cool if you like - you’ll just want to thin it with a little extra chicken stock, as it thickens when cold.

  • 1 teaspoon Fish Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Crushed Pepper Flakes

Instructions

Chicken

  • Cut chicken breasts into relatively uniform strips, about 1.5″ across. Place in a bowl for marinating (Ideally with a lid), set aside.
  • Whisk together all marinade ingredients except salt and pepper, taste. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  • Pour marinade over chicken strips, gently turning to coat well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 hours.
