Typos in Recipe?

User: Jennifer from Torrington, CT User Rating:
I think there must be some typos or ommissions in the recipe as it appears online. The list of ingredients lists items that aren't mentioned in the text of the recipe (vegetable oil, scallions, etc.) Additionally, it would be helpful if the amount of chicken was expressed in weight (1 lb, 2lbs) rather than simply the number of peices. Lastly, there seems to be some contradiction between what was aired and what's listed online.... I thought it was 325 degrees for 40 minutes on TV, but the recipe says 350 for 30 minutes..... , I believe Dan & Steve used parchment paper.... this is not mentioned online. I'd be willing to retry the recipe once the instructions are tidied up a bit.... but as is, it just doens't work.
My guests loved this dish!

These were delicious and easy to prepare. I didn't bother to halve the chicken tenders, nor did I put them on skewers, and that didn't matter.

I am so glad I tried this recipe. I saw the episode and saved the recipe. While planning for a dinner party, I decided to include the chicken on the menu as an appetizer. I ended up substituting the rice wine vinegar for regular vinegar and omitted the scallions, cilantro and sesame seeds all together, and this recipe turned out wonderful. The chicken was tender, juicy and FULL of flavor. My husband is a very picky eater and really enjoyed them. I will defiantly make this ?keeper? recipe again. Thanks Hearty Boys!!!!!!
Great Chicken!

This is a wonderful recipe. For my taste, I cut back on the rice wine vinegar. Come on, food network, this is a HOT show! Please consider re-showing it again between 7pm - 10pm Pacific time so I & other fans may watch it after work. Dan & Steve, your show & recipes are awesome!

I made this for a pre-concert gathering a while back, and it was a smashing success. Following the suggestions of others, I cut back on the vinegar a bit, and it turned out very well. One of the concert-goers, whom I had not met beforehand, took one bite, then came over and said, "I know we haven't met, but I need to hug you, cause this is awesome!"
Too Acidic

I made this as written in their cookbook. The only difference is that the cookbook listed 6 T. sesame oil and no vegetable oil; otherwise, the recipes are the same. Input from my family was unanious...waaaay too much vinegar/acid. Also needed more flavor to balance out the peanut butter...next time I would half the vinegar and add some garlic, hot chili flakes, and additional ginger. The chicken itself was moist and tender. Sauce just needs tweeking.

I saw them make this on TV but didn't - you know - pay attention. Can't figure out the use of the scallions and cilantro. The recipe doesn't say if it is added into the sauce. They can't all be used for garnish. Can someone help?

Not sure if it was because the chicken was cold, but the overall texture of the chicken dish was weird. It was sort of slimy and creamy... with a salty taste. The dipping sauce was way too powerful and again offered a weird cold texture with the sauce. I felt like I was eating leftovers. Defiantly would not go back for seconds!

Great recipe Dan&Steve!!! I used the chicken as a main dish instead of an appetizer by not putting the chicken strips on the skewers and served it with a recipe for fried rice that I put together with some leftover brown rice I had in the fridge, frozen peas and corn, a few shakes of soy sauce, a few shakes of teriyaki marinate, and about two tablespoons of the reserved sauce that was set aside for dipping the chicken in. To make the fried rice just heat the cold brown rice (the nutty favor of the brown rice really adds great favor to the dish?I use the 10 minute boil in a bag kind) in a little oil for a few minutes letting the rice get a little browner, add in the frozen peas and corn and cover so that the veggies can thaw, when the veggies are ready just add the three sauces, stir and serve. Both the chicken and the rice were BIG hits with my family.

Don't Use Flash- Frozen Chicken!

User: deb from placitas, NM User Rating:
I had trouble with the sauce carmelizing and flavoring the chicken as much as it should have. I am sure it had to do with the fact that I used flash-frozen chicken tenders from the super market. Nevertheless, I brought it to our monthly happy hour party and it was a big hit. It looked great and tasted great. It is the easiest Satay I have ever made. Next time I will use fresh chicken breast strips. Love this show. We learn something every time we watch. Our DVR is programmed so we never miss an episode. Dan & Steve, you were our choice during the competition and you have certainly proved that you were deserving. THANKS!!

Much easier and almost as good as the Indonesian Sate I make. Saw this segment on TV and noted that the 1/2c. chopped scallions and the 1/2c. chopped cilantro was never used. It was just left on the chopping board by the end of the show segment. Therefore, delete it from the recipe.

Method for preparing recipe does not include the use of all ingredients listed. I had 1/2 C. of cilantro and 1/2 C. of green onions left with no instructions on what to do with them when recipe was completed. Sauce as prepared was thin and did not coat or flavor chicken well.

I was very impressed with how easy and delicious this turned out to be! Because i was cooking for one, i did my best to add the proper ratios, but test tasted and added until it was just right -- also, i did leave the chicken in the sauce for 15 minutes before baking it. I will defininitly be making this again!

I copied the recipe the day I saw the show and after reading some reviews, took the advice in account when making the sauce. I am a low carber, so I used a sugar substitute: erythritol and I only made half the recipe. I took the ingredients starting with the peanut butter and added the other things to my liking until it had the same consistancy Dan & Steve's did. I tossed the raw chicken chunks in the sauce and baked them on a cookie sheet, no skewers. It was great served with low carb stir-fry. I made it again a few days later and this time, just stir fried the chicken and veggies, then added a little of the sauce at the end. It was very good too. Thanks for the great ideas. Love the show.

I put it on the grill for an outdoor party instead of baking inside. It turned out nicely and the even the little bit of overcooked sauce, when I left it unattended too long, was wonderful. No leftovers at the party which included picky teenagers. It probably was a bit dryer than in the oven, but I would absolutely do it again.
Very good!

I make satay every New Year's Eve and decided to give this recipe a try and it did not disappoint. I served with my own peanut sauce recipe on the side, I cut the chicken in bite size pieces which guests could spear with a skewer and eat easily. The chicken was moist and I believe that's due to the high fat content of the marinade. Don't panic about the fat, it's a party food which guests only indulge in 4-5 pieces of. Never compromise on taste because people only remember the parties where the food was great. Steve and Dan are my go to guys when planning my party menus - Thanks

I made this recipe for New Years Eve. I have some tough picky critics, but these satays were a hit! I followed the recipe exactly, but the store didn't have chicken tenders so I cut up chicken breasts. I thought the taste was perfect even without the sauce. I did heat the sauce up a bit and I think it was even better. Using parchment paper is such a time savor. For the reader regarding the scallions and cilantro. The scallions were used as a garnish along with black sesame seeds for the satays and the cilanto is garnish on top of the sauce. I will be making this again with no changes!
