Any party host knows that food served on skewers is just plain fun. These chicken satés are made from thigh meat, so they don't dry out during grilling, and the palm sugar in the marinade helps get the meat nice and caramely brown.

Cooks' notes:

· If you aren't able to grill outdoors, satés can be cooked in a hot lightly oiled large (2 burner) well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat. · Chicken can be threaded onto skewers 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
