This was very good. The peanut sauce could be reduced by half, way too much sauce and I didn't make the relish. I would also marinade the chicken longer then the suggested 4 hours. They didn't have a ton of flavor, but overall, when served, the chicken and peanut sauce was delish.

This was very good with some tweaks. I added sriracha to the marinade for some heat and added some rice vinegar for tang. For the peanut sauce, I used natural, unsalted peanut butter, then reduced the palm sugar to 2 tablespoons and added soy sauce and sriracha.

@ Adreasim....Try adding some sriracha, red chili flakes, or chili garlic sauce to add some kick to the marinade.

LOVED THIS! Did not have fish sauce but thought it came out perfectly spicy-sweet. Cooked on our indoor grill and skipped the relish (next time I will definitely give it a try.

i had already used my own marinade when i stumbled on this recipe, so i'm really only rating the peanut sauce- but but but what a sauce...it deserved a review- very good balance of flavors and the curry gives it a kick with depth- unlike other recipes i've tried- i used only two tablespoons sugar and added a little soy sauce and grated ginger i like things a little salty- the tamarind paste/juice is really worth it- i threaded chicken with mango cubes and cooked it in a grill pan and topped everything with coriander and was mighty pleased.

Not sure what I'd suggest adding but I definitely felt the marinade could use more flavor or more of a kick. As a result the chicken satay was a little disappointing by itself without the peanut sauce.

I just made this and my boyfriend really liked it, I thought it was good too although the peanut sauce did taste strange to me...I used a cheap hydrogenated brand of peanut butter...so next time I'll be sure to get the good stuff and possibly add the chili paste...I used tikka masala curry paste instead and I think that was a good idea...the sauce tasted a little bland even after the curry...some spice would have kicked it up. Wish I could have marinated the chicken longer but my boyfriend started circling the kitchen wanting food All in all it was a nice and simple recipe and definitely good for weeknight meals or potluck style parties.

Made this the first time for a dinner party and received many compliments. The chicken was nice and tender - marinated for 4 hours. Peanut sauce was a big hit - and as others have said there was plenty - I probably had 80% left. The cucumber relish sauce was a bit salty for my taste and needed a bit more sugar, so I remade it and used white rice vinegar and just a healthy pinch of salt which was better, I thought. I know our local Thai restaurant uses pineapple juice in theirs, so I may experiment. I served this with the coconut rice from the recipe: "Grilled Marinated Fish with Tropical Salsa and Coconut Rice" courtesy of Emeril Lagasse, 2002. This which was a very nice addition for this dish and it turned out perfectly as well! I will make this again and again!

Best peanut sauce I've ever tasted. Used Chinese chili-garlic sauce instead of the Curry.. Delicious!

Everything was great. I just wished the cucumbers didn't wilt the next day for leftovers. This was the best peanut sauce recipe! YUM!!! Just the right amount of spiciness.
