  • For the peanut sauce, use a creamy peanut butter for a smooth and rich sauce. If you want a spicier sauce, add more chili peppers or Sriracha sauce.
  • Serve the chicken satay skewers with the peanut sauce, cucumber salad, and jasmine rice. You can also add a side of pickled vegetables or a fried egg.

Conclusion:

Thai chicken satay is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a weeknight meal. The chicken is grilled to perfection and the peanut sauce is creamy and flavorful. Serve the satay skewers with cucumber salad, jasmine rice, and pickled vegetables for a complete meal.
