Thai Chicken Satay


satayW
I enjoyed this Chicken Satay.  It was very flavorful.  I'd make it again, but I'd find a different peanut dipping sauce- this one called for too much fish sauce and it was too salty.  I enjoyed a little bit of it mixed with rice and cilantro, though.  I'm excited to be trying more Thai recipes!

Maybe you'd like the peanut sauce with the hoisin sauce in it that I made for those Thai spring rolls. I tried for a few years to find a peanut sauce I liked and finally feel like I got it with that one.

Can you email it to me? It's overwhelming trying to look for it myself, haha!
