Thai Chicken Satay with Thai Peanut Sauce

This Thai Chicken Satay recipe is amazing !!! The flavors come together like they were made for each other. The chicken by itself was very flavorful and could stand on it's own, but the Thai Peanut Sauce was divine. The Thai Peanut Sauce can be use with Asian Summer Rolls too. This recipe is a definite keeper!
