Chicken Satay

I got this recipe from Home Cooking April 2007. I made it and it was delectable... I went nuts when i lost the recipe but I found it again last week. So to safeguard it, I'm posting it and sharing with everyone! You need to prepare the marinade overnight (sometimes I even marinate for 2 days). In the ingredients list, items marked with a (M) indicate it's an ingredient for the marinade. Items marked with a (D) indicate it's for the dipping sauce. This goes great with white steamed rice!
