Slow Cooked Satay Chicken

Ingredients

6 chicken drumsticks

1 brown onion, finely diced

2 tsp’s cumin

1 tsp ground coriander

2 tsp paprika

1 tsp curry powder

1 can Ayam satay sauce

1 can coconut milk

2 bay leaves

Generous pinch of salt

Serve with:

Chinese broccoli

Steamed rice

Chopped roasted peanuts, to garnish

Method

1. In a small bowl, combine the cumin, ground coriander, paprika, and curry powder.

2. Heat a large pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Sear the drumsticks in the pan, sprinkling over half of the spice mix. Once the drumsticks are browned on one side, turn them over, sprinkle the remaining spice mix, and brown the other side.

3. Place the diced onion in the slow cooker, followed by the seared drumsticks. Pour in the satay sauce and coconut milk, then add the bay leaves and a generous pinch of salt. Stir to combine.

4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low. Cook for 4-5 hours until the chicken is tender and falling away from the bone.

5. Carefully remove the drumsticks from the slow cooker. Remove the meat from the bones, then return the shredded meat to the satay sauce and stir to combine.

6. Divide the steamed rice and Chinese broccoli between bowls. Spoon the satay chicken over the rice and broccoli. Garnish with chopped roasted peanuts and some sliced red chilli.
