This chicken satay recipe is one of my favorites—easy, authentic, and impossible to resist! The chicken skewers turn out juicy and tender thanks to a flavorful marinade that soaks right in. I cook them on the grill for that perfect char, then serve with a rich, spicy peanut satay sauce. Every bite is packed with delicious flavor—great for sharing at gatherings or enjoying at home.
