ORANGE-MARINATED CHICKEN SATAY WITH PEANUT SAUCE
After a recent trip to Southeast Asia, I came back bursting with inspiration and ideas. This super-easy chicken satay incorporates some of the tricks I learned abroad, including a peanut sauce that requires only a handful of ingredients but is nonetheless chock-full of flavor. You can use any cut of boneless chicken you prefer--strips of boneless skinless breasts or thighs work as well as the tenders.

Steps:
- To marinate the chicken: Whisk all of the marinade ingredients together in a medium bowl. Put the chicken in a 1-gallon self-sealing plastic bag. Pour in the marinade, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours.
- To make the peanut sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking almost constantly, until simmering, smooth, and thickened. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm.
- Prepare an outdoor grill for direct cooking over medium heat (350 degrees F to 450 degrees F). Alternatively, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and heat a grill pan over high heat.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade. Thread each chicken strip on a skewer. Place the meaty parts of the skewers over direct medium heat with the skewer handles facing the cooler part of the grill; slip a folded strip of aluminum foil under the handles (see Cook's Note). Sprinkle with salt. Grill, with the lid closed, turning once, until browned and the chicken shows no sign of pink when pierced with the tip of a small knife, about 6 minutes. Alternatively, spray the grill pan with nonstick cooking spray. Add the skewers and cook until grill marks appear on the chicken, about 1 minute per side. Transfer the skewers to a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake until the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the satays to a platter.
- Pour the peanut sauce into a serving bowl. Serve the satays with the peanut sauce for dipping.
