Although Chicken Satay did not originate in Brunei, it is found and loved all over the country and for very good reason, it is delicious.

Although the recipe is complex and calls for exotic ingredients, just get them and make it.

Trust me! I am certain you will love it! Just do it!

Please note that it is best to marinade the chicken overnight so plan ahead for this one.
