Pineapple Chicken Satay

"On Saturday he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice cream cone, one pickle, one slice of swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop..."

Hey give me some credit, it's a chicken lollipop! And it is SO good!!! Pardon the absence of our caterpillar friend in the picture we forgot until after I devoured all the food. We used tiny pieces of meat so I ended up eating more than 2 (not saying how many) but I think it added up to the same amount. Just be careful with this because it is hard to stop eating. The funny thing is that I normally am a wuss when it comes to spice but I enjoyed ever bead of sweat rolling down my face while I ate it. I seriously even licked the sauce bowl. That is the BEST part! My sister in law makes a mean peanut sauce but she adds more ingredients and does it over the stove. I think this is an easy yummy alternative although I might scale back on the chili sauce next time to tone it down. The pineapple mixture is also very spicy because of the cayenne pepper. Thing 1 enjoyed the chicken without any of the side stuff so I do call this kid friendly. I will definitely make this again with much larger pieces of chicken. Yummy. 5 out of 5 stars.
