Sate Ponorogo is a traditional type of satay originating from Ponorogo in East Java. This type of satay is made with chicken that's marinated in a combination of shallots, garlic, candlenuts, coriander, turmeric, cumin, galangal, salt, and palm sugar.

The chicken is then cut into pieces and threaded onto bamboo skewers before it's coated with a mixture of kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), shallots, brown sugar, and oil. The skewers are grilled on both sides until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
