Chicken Satays with Thai Dipping Sauce - ★Cooking Recipes★

Recipes by Lucy Waverman available at www.EpiPen.ca

These satays are spicy, succulent and superb. The sauce recipe makes more than needed but it will keep well for two weeks in the refrigerator. The bamboo skewers have to be soaked in water to prevent them from burning on the barbeque. Asian chilli sauce is called sambal oelek which is the purest form although there are others that contain sugar and vinegar. My preference is for sambal oelek. Always season to your preference. If you like it hot add more, if you prefer it less spicy add less or none.Serves 6 as an appetiser, 4 as a main course.
