CHICKEN SKEWERS WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium. Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium heat, add the garlic and cook, stirring, until just golden, about 1 minute. Add the peanut butter, ketchup, soy sauce and 1/2 cup water and stir until well blended. Remove from the heat, stir in the lime juice and set aside.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and thread onto the skewers. Lightly oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken, flipping often, until cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Drizzle some of the sauce over the chicken and scatter with cilantro and Fresno chile if using. Serve with the remaining peanut sauce, steamed rice and lime wedges.

• Soak 5 to 6 wooden skewers in water for at least 1 hour.
• In the bowl of a food processor, grate the onion until it's finely chopped. Add the peanut butter, tomato paste, olive oil, cumin, salt, crushed red pepper and powdered ginger. Continue to blend until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
• Transfer the sauce to a large bowl. Add the chicken to the sauce and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the chicken to marinate.
• Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates with olive oil, if necessary.
• Add the chicken to the wooden skewers (make 5 to 6 skewers). Brush both sides of the chicken with any leftover marinade.
