There’s a thousand and one way to make the all-time fave Chicken Satay. But there’s only one that works.

Chicken Satay is an appetizer staple on any Vietnamese restaurant menu. It’s a concoction of flavours — the unique taste coconut milk, curry powder and turmeric pairs deliciously with peanut dipping sauce.

Foodies suggest that the boneless skinless chicken thighs be marinated for at least two hours but experts say they prefer it done overnight.

This marinade is extremely fast to throw together and extremely flavorful.

In Dubai, a specialty, award-winning restaurant, Vietnamese Foodies, is having its free cooking classes for Dubai-based foodies, which was initially launched last month and will be running till April.
