When I invite friends over to watch an NFL playoff football game, I want the food to be awesome but I don’t want to be in the kitchen cooking while the game is on. I discovered these chicken skewers at Costco. They are moist, pre-cooked, gluten free and seasoned really well. I made a simple, homemade spicy satay sauce ahead of time that paired perfectly with the skewers. It’s a great dish for adults, kids, and sports fans everywhere!

The pre-cooked skewers are from WestEnd Cuisine. I bought them from Costco and will definitely buy them again.

I thought the skewers would pair nicely with an asian dipping sauce and found this tasty, spicy dipping sauce recipe online. All of my taste-testers and I agreed the sauce with the skewers was a winner!

Simply heat the skewers for 10-12 minutes. Serve them on a platter with the Spicy Satay Sauce or with your favorite dipping sauce.
