4. Thread each piece of marinated chicken onto the skewers.

5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

6. Grill the chicken skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure that they cook evenly.

7. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the peanut sauce by combining all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl until smooth.

8. Once the chicken skewers are fully cooked, remove from the grill and allow them to cool for a few minutes.

9. Serve Skewers hot with peanut sauce, crushed peanuts, sliced cucumber, and cilantro on the side.

Notes
