Yield makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup salted roasted peanuts,finely chopped
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley
kosher salt and black pepper
2 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 24 thin strips
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1to 2 teaspoons Asian chili-garlic sauce
24 6-inch bamboo skewers

Steps:

1. On a large plate, combine the peanuts, bread crumbs, cilantro, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Thread each strip of chicken onto a skewer and coat with the peanut mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere. In batches, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook the skewers until golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate as they are cooked and add more oil to the skillet as necessary. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and chili-garlic sauce. Serve with the chicken.
