• For extra flavor, baste the chicken with the marinade while grilling.
• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken satay in a grill pan or broil them in the oven.
• Feel free to adjust the spiciness of the peanut sauce by adding more or less chili paste according to your preference.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover chicken satay can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the chicken satay in a preheated oven or microwave until warmed through.
• Serve the reheated chicken satay with fresh peanut sauce for the best flavor.
• Garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro for an extra touch of freshness and crunch.
