Chicken satay in peanut sauce

Helllo everyone!!!
Today i m going to share with u a really delicious chicken dish, as usual. Its called chicken satay with peanut sauce. I m sure everyone must have had it at the restaurants and must have always wanted to know how to make it. Its really very simple. Here is how it looks.

The day i decided to make it, i Searched for the perfect recipe and decided to go ahead with it. The recipe called for peanut butter, which i had asked my husband to get from a particular store near his workplace. As usual, by the time he went there, the store was closed. Since i had already marinated the chicken and had my mind set on making this dish, decided make it at home. For those of u, who dont have peanut butter at home, try this recipe. Its really cheaper to make it a home.

Peanut butter

Ingredients:

1 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
1 tbsp peanut oil ( or any oil at home)

Method:
Grind the peanuts with the oil in a grinder till smooth. If want it chunky, keep aside 1/4 cup and grind for 1 minute with the smooth peanut butter to get the taste of peanut chunks in your butter.

The chicken is served with peanut sauce, which is a thai delicacy.
