Baked Satay Chicken Recipe is same as the traditional satay chicken. If you are health freak, you must try out this yum recipe.

Satay is a dish of seasoned, skewered grilled meat, served with Thai Peanut Dipping Sauce. It is a popular dish in Indonesia. They are sold by a travelling satay vendor, a street side tent restaurant or in an upper-class restaurant. In Malaysia, Satay is  very popular, especially during celebrations. It is also called as Satti in Southern Philippines.

In this Thai style Satay, the chicken is cut into big thick strips lengthwise and then pre marinated with Different sauces and then threaded on the wooden satay skewers. They are then grilled over fire. Thai peanut dipping sauce  gives it extra taste and flavor. Peanut sauce can be prepared ahead of time and can be refrigerated and used whenever needed. The recipe for the sauce is very easy . Though Satay is grilled, I have prepared baked version  of it. You can also grill if you like.

So why go to restaurants and waste money when you get the same authentic taste of Satay at home?
