Chicken Sate with Peanut Sauce

I am always on the lookout for a good chicken sate with peanut sauce recipe, and this one is pretty good. The peanut sauce had a nice little kick with crushed red pepper, and the sate had a good sweet and spicy taste.

My changes:
I used freshly grated ginger instead of bottled ground fresh ginger.
I also let the chicken marinate for about 30 minutes before grilling instead of 10 minutes.

If you don't have a grill, you can broil these instead. Place on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil eight to 10 minutes, turning once.
