Instructions

Combine all marinade ingredients except for the chicken, and mix well. Toss in chicken to fully coat and then skewer. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Make the sauce by combining all ingredients and cooking at a slow simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add water if necessary, 1 Tablespoon at a time, in order to thin out to desired consistency. Some peanut butters have more oil and water than others so it may depend based on your peanut butter. The sauce should be thick, but pourable.
When ready to cook the skewers you can choose to grill them or pan sear them.
If grilling, place on the grill and cook fully, turning once to get even cooking.
If pan searing, add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan and heat on medium heat until shimmering. Place skewers in pan and cook until they release easily and have a nice browning (cast iron skillets are great for this) then turn and finish cooking on the other side.
Plate and garnish with cilantro, chopped peanuts and serve with lots of sauce!
