Satay, marinated meat broiled or grilled on skewers, is becoming an American
favorite as Thai and Indonesian cuisines become more popular.  Here it's
served as a main dish, but it can also easily make 8 appetizer servings.  Mix
all ingredients except chicken and Cucumber Sauce in medium glass or plastic
bowl.  Stir in chicken.  Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours, stirring
occasionally.  Prepare Cucumber Sauce.  Set oven control to broil.  Spray
broiler pan rack with nonstick cooking spray.  Remove chicken from marinade;
reserve marinade.  Thread chicken on eight 8-inch skewers,* leaving space
between each piece.  Place skewers on rack in broiler pan.  Broil with tops
about 3 inches from heat 4 minutes; turn.  Brush with marinade.  Broil 4 to 5
minutes longer or until chicken is white.  Serve with sauce.  4 servings *If
using bamboo skewers, soak in water at least 30 minutes before using to
prevent burning.  CUCUMBER SAUCE Heat sugar, vinegar, water and red pepper to
boiling in 1-quart saucepan; remove from heat.  Stir in cucumber and bell
pepper; cool.
