Satay Chicken

This simple dish was cooked by my mother when I was young. It is very appetizing when eaten with a bowl of steaming hot rice. Now, I cooked it for my husband and 3 kids and they love it, especially my second son. He will finish up whatever is left on the plate, even without me asking him to. Usually, when there's still some dishes left, I would ask my kids to try to finish them, but they would normally claim that they are already very full. For this dish, my second son will have no hesitation and so far, has not said no when I asked him to finish it up. The recipe is as follows:-
