Ingredients
- 1 cup rice wine vinegar
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- Sesame oil
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
- 25 chicken tenders, halved on the bias
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions plus 2 tablespoons, for garnish
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup black sesame seeds, for garnish
- 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped for garnish
- Special Equipment: 6-inch bamboo skewers
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine vinegar, peanut butter, soy sauce, vegetable oil, sesame oil, to taste, sugar and ginger in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until smooth. Toss 1 1/2 cups of the peanut butter mixture with the chicken tenders in a bowl until the chicken is well coated. Spread the chicken out in a baking pan in a single layer. Bake until the tenders are firm to the touch, about 30 minutes. Let cool.
Thread a skewer into each tender. Arrange on a platter and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped herbs. Put the remaining sauce into a small bowl and serve.

I hat satay a long time ago at a restaurant, and wanted to try to make it myself. This recipe was one of the first I saw, so I tried it. Yes, it is very tasty, and cooking it in the oven makes it easy, but it is definitely not very authentic. What I had before was quite different from this. I also cut back on the vinegar a bit, and I wished I would have used a darker soy sauce for it than I did. I also added garlic and can't see making this without it, and a touch of onion powder. I may make this dish again, but I will be making another version sooner with lemongrass, turmeric, and coriander seed. Then I will grill it. I think that was a key difference. It is very different when you bake this opposed to grilling it.

I tried this recipe a few years ago to take to a holiday party. It got so many rave reviews (one from a prof. chef that I was asked to bring it to another get-together, but I couldn't find it. I searched FN listings for this and couldn't find it anywhere. After looking in my recipe box on this site, I found it (why didn't I look there in the first place??? I don't know why I couldn't find it with a search, but I will never misplace this recipe again. It is superb and very easy. (Try threading the skewers before baking,

I made this recipe for a Christmas party, everyone wanted the recipe and have
enjoyed it's versatility. Great as an appetizer, salad topper or on rice as a
main course.
