    Malaysian chicken sate or spelled satay in the rest of the world, is one of my favorite foods.  All different types of meat can be used, but I love it made with chicken.  The dark meat chicken is marinated in all the flavors of  Southeast Asia that we love, lemongrass, garlic, shallots, some chili, turmeric and coriander, a little salt and sugar for the perfect balance.

    It is best if you can marinate the meat overnight.  The chicken is then place on skewers and barbecued until perfectly tender and juicy.  The satay is served with slices of onions and cucumber. The dip is a peanut sauce that is awesome.  You can get good bottled versions that are available now in most regular grocery stores that have an international section.  Enjoy!
