(1 RATING)
Whenever I was in the Netherlands, I couldn't resist indulging in some Indonesian food. It was the typical "fast-food" at the time. This recipe is simple and great as a side, or an appetizer.

Step 2Marinate chicken in kecap manis (sweet Indonesian soy sauce), salt, and pepper for at least 2 hours, preferably overnite.
-
Step 3Soak skewers if using bamboo for about an hour. Skewer chicken pieces, leaving a bit of space between each piece.

Step 5Grill skewers until completely done but still moist.
