#CA26 - This is an authentic Malaysian style Chicken Satay that has obviously many variations. Preparing this absolutely delicious appetizer brought back a string of memories associated with this particular dish. I vividly remember to have enjoyed Chicken Satay in the numerous food courts in Singapore during my sojourn a couple of years back. Very simple and an easy recipe, it can be served as an appetizer in any in-house party. It can be either pan grilled or oven grilled to perfection. Served with Peanut Sauce, it is an amazing treat to be relished.
