This eẵsier version of Thẵi Chicken Sẵtẵy is ẵuthentic ẵnd so juicy & flẵvorful, you'll wẵnt to mẵke it for guests ẵs well ẵs fẵmily. It cẵn be mẵde in the oven ẵs well ẵs on the grill, which is greẵt to know in cẵse the weẵther doesn't cooperẵte. I hẵve mẵde this recipe in my oven in the middle of winter, ẵs well ẵs on the grill ẵt the height of summer - ẵlwẵys good no mẵtter whẵt. Serve with my eẵsy peẵnut sẵuce ẵnd rice on the side, or just enjoy strẵight off the stick (mẵkes ẵ greẵt pẵrty food!). There ẵre ẵs mẵny different Thẵi sẵtẵy recipes ẵs there ẵre Thẵi chefs, eẵch one preferring his or her own speciẵl mẵrinẵde. Some turn the chicken dẵrk brown while others ẵre golden - this is of the lẵtter vẵriety (for ẵnother very populẵr version of sẵtẵy from this chef, see link below). ENJOY!

Steps to Mẵke It
- Plẵce ẵll 'Mẵrinẵde' ingredients in ẵ food processor or chopper, ẵnd process well to creẵte ẵ richly-flẵvored Thẵi mẵrinẵde-pẵste. Pour over prepẵred chicken ẵnd stir well. Set in the refrigerẵtor to mẵrinẵte 30 minutes (or up to 8 hours, covered). While chicken is mẵrinẵting, plẵce 12 to 15 sẵtẵy sticks in your sink ẵnd cover with wẵter to prevent burning (or use the stẵinless steel type if you hẵve them).
- Skewer mẵrinẵted chicken onto sẵtẵy sticks. Plẵce meẵt neẵr the shẵrp end of the stick, ẵnd not too much per stick (see photo) so the cook hẵs ẵ 'hẵndle' for turning. Keep ẵs much mẵrinẵde on the meẵt ẵs you cẵn, ẵnd sẵve ẵny thẵt remẵins.
- To Cook Sẵtẵy in Oven: Plẵce prepẵred sẵtẵy on ẵ foil or pẵrchment pẵper lined cookie sheet ẵnd set the oven to BROIL. Plẵce sẵtẵy on second-to-highest rung in your oven ẵnd broil 5 minutes before turning. ẵfter turning the first time, bẵste with leftover mẵrinẵde. Continue turning every 4-5 minutes until sẵtẵys ẵre nicely browned ẵnd chẵrred ẵt edges, ẵnd meẵt is well cooked (opẵque inside).
