CHELSEA — A new chain of eateries that served its satays at upscale restaurants is aiming to “democratize” the dish by opening an outpost in Gansevoort Market, as well as two more in Brooklyn and Queens. 

Skinny’s Satay will open its first location inside the food hall on West 14th Street, near Eighth Avenue, on June 1, the eatery said in a release.

It will open two other outposts inside the Queens Center Mall and at the Empire Stores in DUMBO in July and September, respectively, the release added.

All three locations will serve the “addictive and high-quality culinary satay product originally made famous by restaurateur Stratis Morfogen,” who founded upscale Upper East Side restaurant Philippe Chow, co-owns Chelsea's Jue Lan Club and is reportedly opening a sports bar called Mr. Big Shot with Knicks player Carmelo Anthony.

Satays will range in price from $3.50 for a single chicken skewer to $9.25 for a lobster skewer, a menu shows.

The eateries will also serve salads, fries and chicken pops.

“The gluten-free satays created by our chefs for the past 20 years have only been available to a select clientele,” Morfogen said in a statement. “We created Skinny’s Satay with the aim of serving the other 99 percent so that they can enjoy this special product in a quick service environment.”
