Method
Step 1.
For the green satay, place all the ingredients except the peanuts in a food processor and blitz to combine. Add the peanuts and pulse until mostly smooth but still a little bit chunky. Transfer to a bowl and place in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
Step 2.
Combine the Thai basil, coriander, ginger, garlic, chilli, tamari or coconut aminos, fish sauce, olive oil and coconut sugar in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Cover and place in the fridge to marinate for at least 1 hour, or up to 3 hours for best results.
Step 3.
Preheat the barbecue grill to medium.
Step 4.
Grill the chicken for 6–8 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a wooden board, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest for 5 minutes.
Step 5.
To serve, roughly chop the chicken and place it on a large platter. Drizzle over the green satay and sprinkle with the toasted peanuts and some extra Thai basil leaves. Serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.
Step 6.
Remove the crispy cauliflower popcorn pieces from the oven and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve alongside the barbecue sauce.
