Cooking Tips

Soak the bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning. Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Notes

If you're unable to grill the skewers, you can also cook them in a grill pan or under the broiler. For a spicier peanut sauce, add more chili flakes to taste.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover skewers and sauce separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the skewers in the oven or on the stovetop before serving.
