Here is the classic Thai appetizer that almost anyone who eats chicken loves. I used to work and live in Dallas and there used to be this great hole in the wall thai restaurant that was absolutely fantastic.

This is a great recipe to throw on the grill anytime time of the year! This is one of those recipes you want to have in your back pocket anytime of the year

I always used to order there chicken satays and would absolutely devour them. That was my first introduction to the ongoing love affair for chicken satays. I’m going to give you a marinade that is a quick version. Here is the chicken satay recipe, I hope you enjoy it!
