The chicken for chicken for chicken satay sticks?
I tried grilling but it ended up very very dry.

DS and DD both like the shop brought ones, (they have at friends places) I won't buy them as they are not free range.

I have made the peanut sauce which tasts great but cant get the chicken bit right.

what am I doing wrong

I found this too!

I now marinade the chicken on sticks in peanut oil with a bit of lazy chilli mixed in and leave it all day.

Then I put the chicken in a hottish griddle pan, then serve with the peanut sauce warmed over. the oil makes it not quite as dry when grilling

annie 123 - you can do it like this: cut chicken breasts into cubes. Marinade them in some soy sauce with brown sugar, garlic and a squeeze of lemon for a couple of hours. Then cheat: instead of grilling, fry the chicken cubes in some sunflower oil in a big frying pan or wok. Thread them on the skewers once done to your liking. Serve with peanut sauce.

Flame-grilled is best
Make sure your chicken strips are thin so that they'll cook quickly.
Sear the outside on the flames and the rest should cook through quickly enough to remain moist.
