Chicken satay with peanut

Today we’re presenting a second dish that comes from the distant island of Java: chicken satay with peanut, grilled chicken skewers served with a spiced peanut sauce 🙂 .
The skewers are excellent both served as second dish to be eaten at the table, or as a creative appetizer to be served at a buffet.

In Indonesia you can find many variations of satay because the name of the dish simply indicates a skewer of grilled meat served with a spiced sauce. The commonly used meat is chicken but you can also find pork, beef or lamb skewers. The more traditional sauce is the one that we’ll present today, peanut-based, but there are many regional variations.

This dish is so characteristic that in Indonesia you will find it everywhere, from the kiosk in the street, to the most elegant restaurants 🙂 .
