Buy chicken to make Indonesian style chicken satay.

Use a food processor or blender to combine fresh lemongrass, garlic, brown sugar, honey, coriander, cumin, turmeric, soy sauce, vegetable oil, and ginger to create a paste.

Transfer the paste to a bowl.

Slice chicken thighs into strips and add to the bowl with the paste, mixing well.

Cover and refrigerate overnight.

Soak bamboo skewers in water to reduce burning if barbecuing.

Cut cucumber in half, trim the ends, split in half, and slice on an angle into thick slices.

Remove chicken from the fridge and thread three strips onto each bamboo skewer.

Preheat barbecue and oil the grill.

Cook the skewers on the barbecue until they have a char on each piece of chicken.

Serve with hot rice and a peanut sauce, garnished with spring onion and a wedge of lime.
