Chicken Satay With Peanut Sauce (Mark Bittman) image

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.

This recipe is not for beginners. It's a bit complicated and the instructions are not very clear.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chicken satay turned out dry. The peanut sauce was good though.

I'm not usually a fan of chicken satay, but this recipe changed my mind. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the peanut sauce was amazing.
