I love Thai food and I had Thai chicken satay with peanut sauce a while ago that my friends mom made. It was fantastic so I decided to give it a crack. Satay in Thailand is a very popular dish but isn’t just made with chicken. They actually use a variety of meats such as beef, pork and believe it or not, goat. Apparently goat is a pretty popular dish in Thailand and I am pretty sure I have never had it but it looks like I am going to be trying it this weekend.

They used this yellow spice called turmeric which had a really bright yellow color. I didn’t get to watch the preparation as it was prepared the day before and was in a dish marinating for 24-hours. I was a little amazed at all necessary ingredients needed in order to make this dish. It was served as a social dish (meaning not sitting just had people helping themselves from plates throughout the kitchen) and there had to have been at least 100-120 skewers.

So here goes my attempt on the authentic Thai Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce. I hope my Food Lover Friends enjoy it. It makes a super party dish.
