Ready for a dinner that tastes like it came straight from a restaurant—but is easy enough for a weeknight? This chicken satay recipe checks all the boxes: flavorful, crowd-pleasing, and easy to make. The chicken is marinated for several hours (or overnight, if you’re planning ahead), then threaded onto skewers and grilled until slightly charred and caramelized around the edges. But the real star is the peanut sauce—it’s creamy, a little spicy, and brightened with fresh lime. You can even make it a few days in advance, so it’s ready when you are.
