  • Add the marinade to the bag and seal it.
  • Massage the ingredients by gently squeezing them together through the bag.
  • Place the bag in the fridge for at least a half hour, but an hour is even better.
  • While the chicken is being marinated, soak the skewers for an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  • 5 minutes before the oven is ready, I skewer the chicken tenders and place them on a foil lined jelly roll pan.
  • Bake them for 10 - 15 minutes.
  • Grab skewer and dip chicken in peanut sauce and take a bite of the chicken.

Notes

Nutrition information doesn't include the peanut sauce.
Tips for making Thai Chicken Satay:
  • I use chicken tenders for this recipe, but sometimes I use cut up chicken thighs.
  • To prepare the skewers for baking, soak them in water for at least an hour before skewering the chicken.  The reason you do this is so the wood won't burn.
  • Use that hour to marinate the chicken as well.
  • Don't skip the fish sauce as it enhances the marinade.  You can find the sauce in the Asian section of the grocery store.
  • Marinate the chicken tenders for at least a half hour, but an hour is better.
