Chicken satay is served all over Asia and it’s usually seasoned with a blend of spices heavy on turmeric. That’s how it gets that golden color. My satay spice rub blend also includes ground coriander, ginger powder, chile powder, black pepper, brown sugar, and a few other spices. It’s perfect on chicken, pork, beef, goat, lamb or tofu skewers. Try the chicken recipe with peanut dipping sauce here. It even tastes great on grill roasted peanuts!

About the chile powder. This is chile powder, powder made from only ground hot chiles such as jalapeno, serrano, or bird chiles. It is not chili powder which is a blend of chile powder and other ingredients.
