Thai Chicken Satay

Chicken strips threaded on wooden skewers

1/2 cup peanut butter

2 TBSP light soy sauce

2 tsp sesame oil

1 TBSP butter

2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Soak the wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes. Thread chicken pieces on the wooden skewers. In a small saucepan combine peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, butter and red pepper flakes. Heat over low heat until ingredients have blended smooth and the butters have melted.  Brush evenly over chicken and grill on a hot grill until meat is cooked and slightly browned. (You can also bake in the oven 350 degrees for about 10 to 15 minutes.)
