Chicken Satay with Yogurt Sauce

As promised here is third and last recipe in our three recipe series on kid friendly party appetizers/starters. Chicken is most popular among kids and especially boneless chicken is favourite of many. Choosing a menu for a party keeping the kids in mind sometimes increases the recipe count as we go for less spicy and easy to eat recipes for kids, which indeed is tiresome at times. Sesame Prawns Dry, Chili Chicken and our today’s recipe Chicken Satay are three incredibly delicious and easy to make recipes which you can make for grownups and kids keeping the spice level in count.

Chicken satay, you find innumerous ways of making it….the recipe which I am going to share with you is my family favourite and very easy one to make. Chicken strips are marinated in a mildly spicy and aromatic marinade and grilled to perfection. These chicken satay are served hot with yogurt sauce/dip…which compliments the satay in a flavoursome way. Hope you are going to try this soon…Happy Cooking….
