Cook the chicken skewers:
- To prepare the chicken skewers, soak 8 wooden skewers in water first, then pat dry.
- Remove the marinated chicken from the bowl and thread onto the skewers.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of high-heat cooking oil (like sunflower or peanut oil). Once the oil is hot and shimmering, place the chicken skewers in the skillet and sear until golden brown on both sides and cooked through. Depending on the size of your skillet, cook in two batches if needed.
Serve:
- Transfer the skewers to a platter and serve warm alongside the creamy peanut sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds, fresh chives or cilantro, and lime wedges for an extra pop of flavor!
Notes
- Great sides include rice, a fresh side salad, steamed veggies, or simply warm flatbread.
- Adjust the Sambal Oelek to fit your personal spice preference.
- You can easily swap out Sambal Oelek for yellow curry paste!
- Instead of using a skillet, feel free to cook these skewers right on the grill.
