CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH PEANUT SAUCE
That peanut butter is relegated to the sandwich while sesame butter (tahini) is seen as an exotic food item is one of the wonderfully preposterous anomalies of American cooking. In the rest of the world, especially Asia, peanuts are special, used not only as a garnish but as a main ingredient in sauces. One such sauce incorporates coconut milk and classic Thai seasonings: curry paste or powder, nam pla, lime and cilantro. The coconut milk and peanuts make the mixture too powerful-tasting for most fish and too heavy for most meat. It is perfect, however, when teamed with chicken on the grill, especially boneless thighs.

GINGER-LEMONGRASS CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH SPICY PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE
Steps:
- Cut the pale yellow bottom portion off the lemongrass stalk and discard the green top. Trim about 3/4 inch from the root end, then peel off and discard the tough outer layers. You should end up with a stick of only the more tender inner layers, about 1/2 inch thick and 3 inches long. Finely mince the lemongrass, along with the ginger and garlic; the pieces should be no bigger than 1/16 inch. (You can do most of this in a food processor and finish with a little hand chopping.) Put the mixture in a medium bowl and stir in the scallions, the oil, 1 tablespoon of the lime juice, 2 teaspoons of the fish sauce, and 1/2 teaspoon of the honey.
- Slice the chicken into 1/3-inch-thick strips about 1 inch wide-slice across the grain and at an angle on breasts, and with the grain on thighs. You should have about 30 strips. Add to the bowl with the lemongrass mixture, stir to coat the chicken evenly, and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- To make the dipping sauce, put the peanut butter in a small bowl. Stir in enough warm water to make a thick sauce (about 1/4 cup, depending on the peanut butter), then add the vinegar, chile garlic sauce, and the remaining 2 teaspoons fish sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon honey. Taste and adjust the saltiness, heat, or acidity to your liking; thin with more water if necessary.
- Prepare a medium-hot gas or charcoal grill or heat a large grill pan. Meanwhile, thread the chicken onto the skewers. Grill the chicken, flipping once, until just cooked through, 1 to 3 minutes per side. (Alternatively, you can cook the skewers under a broiler-about 8 minutes total-but they won't brown as well.)
- Serve with the dipping sauce.
LIME-GINGER CHICKEN KABOBS WITH PEANUT SAUCE
These chicken thighs are flavorful, moist, and very easy to make. And when dipped into an Asian-inspired peanut sauce, just wait for the m-m-m-m-m's to begin. I like to serve this with Cucumber Slices with Dill (a recipe on this site) and white rice.

Steps:
- Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks, and sprinkle with salt.
- Stir mayonnaise, lime zest, ginger, salt, and pepper for the marinade in a bowl until smooth. Place chicken in a resealable plastic bag, add marinade, seal, and massage the bag until all the chicken pieces are coated. Place in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- Soak 6-inch wooden skewers in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes.

Steps:
- Whisk all the ingredients but the chicken together.
- Place chicken in a zip lock bag add just enough marinade to coat the chicken and chill for 1 hour.
- Chill rest of sauce for dipping.
- Skewer chicken in a ribbon method onto soaked skewers.
- Grill on a well seasoned grill over med-high heat for about 7 minutes. Basting with the chicken marinade.
- Serve with chilled dip and fresh sliced cucumbers!
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are ideal for skewers. If you use wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Make sure the marinade is flavorful. The marinade is what will give your chicken skewers their flavor, so don't skimp on the ingredients. Use a variety of spices, herbs, and liquids to create a marinade that is both flavorful and complex.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavor it will absorb. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 15 minutes, but the longer you marinate it, the better.
- Cook the chicken skewers over medium heat. This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. If you cook the chicken over high heat, it will cook too quickly and become tough.
- Baste the chicken skewers with the marinade while they are cooking. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Serve the chicken skewers with a variety of dipping sauces. Peanut sauce, ginger sauce, and sweet and sour sauce are all popular choices.
Conclusion:
Chicken skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're grilling them in the backyard or cooking them in the oven, chicken skewers are sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
