Chicken Satay

Sate (satay) is a very popular food in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. The basic principle of making it is that the meat is cut into small pieces, placed onto a skewer, then BBQ or grilled. Satay can be made from a variety of meats: beef, lamb, goat, chicken, and pork. Apart from the raw material, satay in Indonesia also has different spices, depending on the region of origin. The most popular in the community are the chicken satay and goat satay. In the following video, I will share a very easy chicken satay recipe, along with a delicious peanut sauce.
