Very rotten chilies
The English Provender Company’s excellent Very Lazy Chillies can be found in good supermarkets and delicatessens. They’re a no-fuss alternative to fresh chilies, so it’s handy to have a jar in the fridge. If you can’t get it, just use chili sauce or chili paste instead.

Health Benefits of Satay Shots
Satay shots are a delicious and nutritious way to enjoy the classic flavors of satay sauce, packed into a bite-sized portion. Made with skinless, boneless chicken breasts, soy sauce, Very Lazy chilies, garlic cloves, vegetable oil, light muscovado sugar, and lime, satay shots offer multiple health benefits. Let’s explore some ways these ingredients contribute to a healthy diet.
Lean protein
Chicken breast is a lean source of protein that is essential for building and repairing tissue, promoting muscle growth, and supporting a healthy immune system. It also contains less fat compared to other parts of the chicken, making it a healthier choice for those watching their calorie intake.
Nutrient rich
Soy sauce, a key ingredient in satay shots, is made from fermented soybeans and wheat. It contains essential amino acids, iron, potassium and various vitamins, making it a nutritious addition to the recipe. Soy sauce is also a source of antioxidants, which protect the body from damage caused by harmful free radicals.
Antioxidant power
The “Very Lazy” chilies used in this recipe are a practical alternative to fresh chilies and give the satay shots a spicy note. Chili peppers are rich in antioxidants called capsaicinoids, which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. They can also help boost metabolism and increase fat burning.
Garlic goodness
Garlic is known for its strong taste, but it also offers numerous health benefits. It contains compounds with powerful medicinal properties, including allicin, which has been shown to have antimicrobial and antioxidant effects. Garlic is also associated with heart health benefits, such as lowering blood pressure and improving cholesterol levels.
Heart-healthy fats
The vegetable oil used in satay shots is a source of heart-healthy fats. It consists primarily of unsaturated fats, including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which when consumed as part of a balanced diet have been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease.
Vitamin C and taste
The lime juice and lime slices in this recipe not only add a touch of citrus flavor, but also provide a dose of vitamin C. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that plays an important role in immune function, collagen synthesis, and wound healing. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by harmful free radicals.
Convenient option
If you’re short on time or prefer a no-fuss cooking experience, using ready-made satay sauce can be a practical option. However, it is important to check the ingredients and nutritional information of store-bought sauces to ensure they meet your dietary preferences and requirements.
