The chicken was great, tons of flavor! The sauce came out way too thick and sticky for my taste, I added a ton of water, some lime juice, and some red curry paste to thin and kick the flavor into high gear. I'm going to try grilling the chicken this summer, I'm betting that charcoal will make it even better!

Loved this recipe. Tons of flavor, very easy to make, too. I was worried while cooking that the color didn't look "peanutty" enough, but after tasting I was totally wrong. It's delicious!

What a lovely recipe! I last had chicken satay with peanut sauce 3 or 4 years ago and have been hankering to try it out for ever so long! There is definitely too much sauce for this amount of chicken, I suggest making only 1/3. (I'll be freezing the left over though; it just too good to throw away!) I also suggest tasting your sauce and adding whichever ingredient you feel is lacking. Finally I processed my onions to get that 'minced' requirement and it worked like a bomb!

The only thing I added was 2 tsp of curry powder to the sauce to give it just a bit more depth and a 3 inch piece of lemongrass (took out the lemongrass after cooking sauce for 10 min) I was afraid to add the fish sauce, but very glad I did. It does make a difference! Thanks for the great recipe!

Mine needed a bit of salt and I used 2/3 cup of smooth peanut butter. It was still really good..I even added a pinch of dried red pepper flakes and eliminated the seeded chiles and it was fine. I wish mine was a little more sour though. Still awesome!

The chicken was fantastic! I made this chicken but used the peanut sauce recipe from 'peanut sauce II' I don't have a grill, so I skipped the skewer and grill bit and just fried the chicken in a frying pan, then served the chicken and sauce over rice. I had a guest over for dinner and he kept commenting on how good it was! I'll definately be making this again!

I'd give 4.5 if I could. The chicken was very tender, and the peanut sauce was OK... I think I'd sweeten it up a bit and add less soy sauce and more chiles next time, but that is just a matter of personal taste. What I hate about EVERY peanut sauce recipe I try is the reliance on peanut butter!!! The sauces you get in really good thai restaurants don't have that same waxy/silky texture that the peanut butter produces, but I simply cannot find a peanut sauce recipe without it!! Maybe time to create my own (and then post it!)

YUM! This was great. It made a lot of sauce, but it was good. My sister in law is from Thailand and this was very similar to her chicken satay. Thanks!
