Indonesian-Style Chicken Satay
Indonesian-Style Chicken Satay
Chicken satays are a quick, low maintenance appetizer that can double as a meal. If eating as an appetizer, I recommend using small 8” skewers; using 2 pieces of chicken pet satay. If you are going to eat these as a main course, go all out and skewer the chicken on metal kabob skewers. I will put 4-5 pieces of chicken on each satay. You can broil or grill the satays gor 5-6 minutes a side. Serve the satays with the peanut sauce.
