About

A national dish in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia, satay is one of the most popular Asian foods in the world. Sadly it is often misinterpreted, with many dried sticks of chicken and bland peanut sauces. I ate this delicious rendition in Bali at a beach BBQ and hopefully it will reaffirm your faith. Chicken thighs are the best meat to use, staying juicy while they turn golden on the charcoal grill.
