Hmmmmm...is this more of an appetizer? I've never had Indonesian food before but this just looks and sounds like something I need and should have in my life. Perhaps maybe with yellow rice, skip the skewers and mix directly in with the sauce though. Would that work or is that a little too weird?

I've had this before in Thai restaurants and I've always wanted a recipe for this. They're delicious, and I wondered exactly what ingredients were used in the sauce and on the chicken. I definitely will flag this for future use. It's such a great change from the chicken dishes we usually make, and it's actually a bit simpler than I thought.
