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 dish is usually served as an appetizer or snack, and is popular in many countries, including Thailand and Indonesia.
