Preparation
Step 1
+Preparation+
Combine chicken with shallots, garlic, palm sugar, pepper, oil, fish sauce, rice wine, and salt in a sealable plastic bag and turn to coat chicken, then squeeze bag to eliminate as much air as possible and seal. *Marinate chicken, chilled, at least 12 hours but no longer than 24.*
Thread each chicken strip lengthwise onto a skewer, keeping strip as straight as possible. Discard any remaining marinade.
Prepare grill for cooking over medium-hot charcoal (moderate heat for gas).
Grill skewers, turning over once, until chicken is cooked through, about 4 minutes total.
+NOTE+ If not grilling outdoors, satés can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled large (2 burner) well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.
+Chicken can be threaded onto skewers 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.+
