Preparation

Step 1

For the chicken satay:

Whisk together the first 6 ingredients in a mixing bowl. Transfer the marinade to a zip-top plastic bag, add the chicken and shake to coat the meat. Refrigerate the chicken until you're ready to cook.

Preheat the oven to broil. Thread the tenders onto the wooden skewers and place on a baking pan lined with aluminum foil. Bake the chicken for 6-8 minutes, or cooked through.

For the peanut sauce:

Combine the first 4 ingredients in a small mixing bowl and microwave for 15 seconds. Whisk in the brown sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, and cilantro. Serve immediately alongside the chicken satay.
