About this Recipe

Thai satay are grilled meat skewers traditionally served at street markets throughout Southeast Asia. This recipe is our take on the classic. This recipe works best with a 4 hour marinade, but even a quick 30 minute marinade gives chicken breasts or thighs a bold flavor, with a nice zing from fresh lime. Serve the skewers alongside our tangy peanut sauce, fresh herbs and lime wedges to bring it all together. No grilling or restaurant takeout required! Feel free to punch up the recipe with Thai red curry paste or your favorite hot sauce for some heat.
