Lime Ginger Chicken Kabobs with Peanut Sauce

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lime Ginger Chicken Kabobs with Peanut Sauce.

1. Step 1

   Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and cut them into 1 1/2-inch chunks. Sprinkle the chicken pieces with salt.

2. Step 2

   In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime zest, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the marinade is smooth.

3. Step 3

   Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag, pour in the marinade, seal the bag, and massage it until all the chicken pieces are well coated. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

4. Step 4

   Soak 6-inch wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

5. Step 5

   In a separate bowl, whisk together peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and sambal oelek. Gradually add warm water until the dipping sauce reaches your desired consistency; set aside.

6. Step 6

   Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grate to prevent sticking.

7. Step 7

   Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread the pieces onto the soaked skewers, discarding any leftover marinade.

8. Step 8

   Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Turn the skewers frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.

9. Step 9

   Once cooked, garnish the kabobs with chopped cilantro and serve with fresh lime wedges and the peanut sauce for dipping.
