Chicken Satay Recipe
Thai chicken on a stick
 This Chicken Satay Recipe (also spelled chicken sate) has a wonderful Asian grilled flavor. The combination of sesame oil, soy sauce and spices makes a great marinade for chicken.
Most of us have seen Satay recipes on the menus of Thai restaurants. Satay is a style of cooking which originally comes from Indonesia. Strips of meat, such as chicken, beef or pork are marinated, put onto bamboo skewers, grilled until golden brown and served with peanut sauce.
Chicken Satay is designed to be grilled. You can broil these in the oven instead. Adjust an oven rack to the top position and broil them about 5 minutes each side. This time is approximate. All ovens heat differently. They should be watched carefully when cooking.

Chicken Satay Recipe
Ingredients:
2 boneless chicken breasts, a total of about 1 lb.
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tbsp brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1/4 cup peanut butter
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
spray vegetable oil
16 Wood Skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes.
Preparation:
Cut thin 1/4-inch slices that run the length of the chicken breast, each slice will be 1 inch by 4 inches by 1/4 inch to get about 16 slices.
Mix Sesame Oil, Soy Sauce, Cilantro, Garlic, Cumin, Sugar and Red Pepper Flakes in medium bowl.
Put sliced chicken and marinade into a zip loc bag, get as much air out as possible and put into the refrigerator for 1-2 hours or overnight if you wish.
Soak you wood Skewers for 30 minutes prior to cooking so that they won't burn up on the grill before your chicken is done.
Thread each slice onto a wood skewer, working the skewer in and out of the meat so that it stays in place during grilling.
Heat grill to high heat, place the skewers on the grill so that the ends without the chicken are hanging off the grill edge so that you can grab them for turning.
Cook chicken for about 5-7 minutes per side.
For sauce, blend peanut butter and vinegar, add water if necessary for desired flavor and consistency.
