Daring Cooks Chicken Satay with Peanut Sauce and Awards

The January 2010 DC challenge was hosted by Cuppy of Cuppylicious and she chose a delicious Thai-inspired recipe for Pork Satay from the book 1000 Recipe Cookbook by Martha Day.

I substituted cubed chicken breasts and made the long marinade recipe. We didn’t love the marinade. I think it may be the turmeric in the marinade that we didn’t like. One day I’ll try it again with the faster marinade recipe because we loved the peanut sauce. Thanks Cuppy!
