satay (peanut dipping sauce)
The first time I tried this, I didn't know what satay was. When I tasted it, I knew immediately it was a peanut dipping sauce. I like to grill or broil chicken tenders and use this for dipping. It is great. I usually serve a ranch dressing alongside to have a variety of dips for the chicken.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
This satay tastes like it came straight from a Thai restaurant. The peanut sauce is fresh and flavorful. Nutty and tangy, there's a small kick of spice from the red pepper flakes. We felt it had the right amount of spice, but adjust the seasoning to suit your needs. Great served with grilled chicken skewers, sliced beef, veggies, or spring rolls for dipping. If you want a thinner sauce, use 1/4 cup of water and mix.
