Malaysian Chicken Satay Skewers

Malaysian Chicken Satay Skewers are a popular Southeast Asian dish, traditionally consisting of marinated, skewered chicken pieces that are grilled over charcoal and served with a spicy peanut sauce. The marinade usually includes garlic, ginger, coriander, cumin, turmeric, shallots, sugar, and curry powder. The dish is usually served as an appetizer or snack, and is popular in many countries, including Thailand and Indonesia.
