Recipe View While the sauce is coming to a simmer, cook chicken skewers on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 4 to 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (10 minutes)

Recipe View Serve skewers immediately with warm peanut sauce. Garnish with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro, if desired. (2 minutes)

For best results, marinate the chicken overnight to allow the flavors to fully penetrate.
Soaking the wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill.
Adjust the amount of curry powder in both the marinade and the peanut sauce to your preferred spice level.
If you don't have a grill, you can cook the skewers in a grill pan on the stovetop or bake them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
The peanut sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving. Add a splash of coconut milk or chicken stock if it becomes too thick.
For a vegetarian option, substitute firm tofu cut into cubes for the chicken.
