We continue our Food on a Stick series today with this Sesame Chicken Satay. The inspiration came from the On A Stick Cookbook, but Doug changed up the recipe a bit to make it more budget friendly and a little easier to make.

We love the way that the flavors in Asian cuisine always seem to build on each other and the subtle way they tantalize your taste buds. I would agree with just about everyone out there that says you need to follow a recipe to the letter but as I get more comfortable in the kitchen I like to experiment with changing the recipe to suit our familys’ tastes, also sometimes either I don’t have the specific ingredient or I’m too cheap to buy it for one meal. Plus I like to make it as easy and quick as I can.

I swapped out several of the ingredients for the marinade for this recipe

  • Lemon juice for the lemongrass
  • Ginger root for the galangal
  • Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing for the dry-roasted peanuts

And substituted the Kraft Asian Toasted Dressing for the entire Dipping Sauce

The family really enjoyed the change of pace and have already requested we have it again.

    These recipes are very interesting, we “toast” ravioli here in St. Louis, but hadn’t heard of frying tortellini. I can’t wait to give this a try. Keep these great ideas coming!!

  4. I had a deep-fried Snickers on a stick once, and it was WONDERFUL… Is there a way to adapt the sesame chicken satay to make it in the oven or stovetop? I wouldn’t be able to put it on a stick, of course, but I love the idea of this recipe and I don’t own a grill.

    • Hi Jessica,
      Yes you can use the same recipe, and just cook them in a skillet on the stove, just heat a little oil and saute them. They would be like chicken bites.

  5. I have a home daycare and we LOVE food on a stick!! Fruits & cheeses, chunks of meat, veggies & bread, corn dogs, cake pops, you name it!

  6. I love frozen fruit slushes as popsicles. Just fruit blended with a little lime juice.
