Chicken Satay

I come from a long-line of NON sushi eaters.  In fact, my family would consider sushi something they would use for bait.  Little Devil on the other hand, may have been mixed up with a baby from Japan.  She LOVES the stuff.  When her graduation party rolled around, and I ordered several large platters of sushi, I knew I had also better come up with some innocent-enough chicken or beef dishes for the rest of the family.  I figured meat-on-a-stick is meat-on-a-stick no matter it's country of origin.  From the state fair to Indonesia, it's still chicken on a stick.  The marinade for these satays was wonderfully flavorful, and super simple to put together.  The perfect appetizer for any occasion, especially if my family is coming over!


Also known as Chicken On A Stick!
