In Indonesia chicken satay sold from roadside stalls or a satayman who sells the satay on a cart which he pushes around the neighbourhood.
Chicken satay can be consumed as snacks or as a main course with sweet, spicy peanut sauce and rice rolls (longtong) or rice.

1 1/2 cups raw peanuts, shelled and skinned
1/2 medium onion

Make the peanut sauce :
Cut the onion into pieces and add to the food processor with the garlic, hot pepper flakes, ginger, brown sugar and lemon juice. Puree the mixture until very smooth, scraping the bowl with the spatula as necessary.
Blend in the hot water, adding enough to make a pourable sauce that coats he back of a spoon. Transfer the sauce to a saucepan, heat to boiling, and simmer 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Take care as the sauce will easily scorch. Season to taste. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Pour the vegetable oil and the blended ingredients into the bowl filled with chicken breast cubes.
Mixed them well and set it aside for half an hour so that the chicken will absorb the paste.
Prepare and cook the satay :
Put 4-5 pieces of chicken cubes on each skewer.
Grill the chicken satay on both sides until well done.
