Thai Chicken Satay Ingredients
The ingredients for this recipe are available in most supermarkets these days, including fish sauce (look in the Asian grocery section).
Marinating The Chicken
The key to best flavor is letting the chicken marinate for a few hours.
Soak bamboo skewers for thirty minutes before skewering the chicken pieces.
These chicken skewers don’t take long to cook on the grill. I lay the skewers on a foil-lined baking sheet that’s oiled for easy cleanup.
Serve with Thai Peanut Sauce.
