An authentic Asian satay consists of marinated meat or seafood grilled on skewers and served with a sauce. Hoisin and plum sauce replace the high-fat peanut sauce that usually accompanies satay.
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/3 cup hoisin sauce
1/3 cup plums sauce
2 tablespoons sliced green onions (with tops)
1 tablespoon grated ginger root
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 tablespoons white vinegar
Trim fat from chicken breasts. Cut chicken lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips. Mix all ingredients except chicken in large glass or plastic bowl. Add chicken; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate 2 hours. Set oven control to broil. Remove chicken from marinade; drain. Reserve marinade. Thread 2 pieces chicken on each of twelve 10-inch skewers.* Place on rack in broiler pan. Broil with tops 3 to 4 inches from heat about 8 minutes, turning once, until done. Heat marinade to boiling in 1-quart saucepan; boil 1 minute. Serve with chicken.
