THREAD chicken onto eight 23 cm metal skewers and evenly coat with half the satay sauce. We recommend using a pastry brush to assist.

COOK skewers on a heated oiled grill plate for 10 minutes, occasionally brushing with remaining satay sauce, until chicken is cooked.

SALAD

PLACE cabbage, spring onion, celery, daikon, salad mix, sprouts, peanuts and coriander in a large bowl, then toss gently to combine.

CHILLI LIME DRESSING

PLACE ingredients in a screw-top jar and shake well to combine.
