Directions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the light brown sugar, curry powder, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, and minced garlic until a smooth, consistent sauce forms.
-
Reserve about half of the peanut sauce for dipping later, and use the remaining half to coat the chicken strips thoroughly for marinating.
-
Thread the marinated chicken strips onto soaked bamboo skewers, ensuring they are packed tightly but not overlapping excessively.
-
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set your oven broiler to high.
-
Place the chicken skewers on the grill or under the broiler, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Turn the skewers occasionally and baste with any remaining marinade until the chicken is cooked through and slightly charred at the edges.
-
Transfer the cooked chicken to a serving platter and garnish with fresh cilantro sprigs and lime wedges.
-
Serve hot with the reserved peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
