"One of my all-time favorite treats in Thai cuisine are Chicken Satay. Featuring a thick sauce that has a thrilling combination of accessible Thai ingredients kissed with peanut butter, chicken satay is as much a hit at home as it is on a Thai menu. While wonderful for dinner, I also love serving them as Hors d'Oeuvres for gatherings. Making them in the Instant Pot takes this iconic dish to the most convenient, one-pot level. As RuPaul may say after trying one, we're about to Satay Away!..."
