Throughout Southeast Asia, little skewers of marinated meat, grilled over coals, are sold as street snacks. Sweetly fragrant with coconut milk and spices, they are perfect for barbecue parties served with steamed rice, or on their own with drinks, whether grilled indoors or out.

MARINATED CHICKEN KEBABS WITH A PEANUT SATAY SAUCE
I have been making this recipe for years and every time I make it I get rave reviews. It really is nothing special, I think, it is just that, the flavors all come together so well and the peanut sauce is so yummy. I make my sauce with smooth peanut butter as I am not a fan of crunchy, but I think this would be fine if you prefer to have the peanut chunks in the sauce.

CHICKEN SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE (MARK BITTMAN)
Another Mark Bittman recipe that I am posting for safekeeping. This one is also not specific in the amounts. I am guessing that the chicken is 1 pound. Prep and cooking times are also wild stabs. UPDATE 2-22-13: Today I tried making the sauce for the first time. I thought that the ingredients listed were fine, but the sauce seemed too bland. I doubled the lime juice and a couple of other seasonings, and added a little garlic powder, and I thought that made a significant improvement. It would be best for you to experiment and find the proportions of the ingredients that work best for you.

CHICKEN SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE
I GOT THIS RECIPE FROM A WEBSITE THAT SAID IT WAS ADAPTED FROM FOOD TV. THIS IS WHAT SHE HAD WRITTEN ABOUT THE RECIPE. For those not familiar with Thai food, chicken satay consists of marinated strips of chicken breast, skewered, grilled and served with a delicious, somewhat spicy, peanut sauce. They are ubiquitous not only in Thai restaurants in the US, but in Thailand itself - where they are sold by street vendors for ridiculously low prices. When we visited Thailand, we were amazed at how much the food served there tasted like the food served at Thai restaurants in America. This is not always the case - Cambodian food in the US, for example, rarely resembles what's available there. I don't know if this is because Thai recipes have become standardized, or because the basic ingredients produce dishes of similar taste regardless of proportions or other ingredients. In any case, we found that this recipe for chicken satay produced a dish that tasted pretty much exactly like the chicken satay served at Thai restaurants here and in Thailand. Needless to say, it was very good. You should be able to buy the necessary ingredients at specialized Asian markets. Thai red curry was not available at my local Safeway, but I could find it easily at a local Asian market. Note that fish sauce usually comes in huge bottles, you only need a little bit, so try to buy the smallest size you can. The stuff is very smelly, but wonderful when mixed with the other ingredients. For my party, I tripled the recipe I'm including here. This was fine for the chicken itself, but it produced way too much peanut sauce. One recipe of peanut sauce would have been enough.
