Though chicken satay is usually found in the appetizer section of Thai restaurant menus in America, versions of it are made throughout Southeast Asia. Any dish that comes with its own handle is bound to satisfy some primal comfort-food desires, and these marinated, broiled chicken skewers have deep flavor to match their convenient form. The marinade is a mixture of brown sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, and hot sauce and guarantees full-flavored meat. After a half-hour soak, the intense, direct heat of the broiler cooks the chicken strips through perfectly in under 10 minutes. A peanut dipping sauce with sweet, tart, and spicy elements echoes the marinade for a bright finish.
