Thai Chicken Satay

My friend from Thailand, made this delicious chicken satay as a starter for the party she hosted last weekend. After tasting that, I became a great fan of this dish. Finally, I got the recipe from her & it turned out good. If u want little hot, can also add some chilly powder, which is optional.

The best way of serving the chicken satay is with the peanut sauce. It taste great..... Lovely starter.
