Description

A bright, nutty Thai marinade — chopped peanuts processed with soy sauce, lemon juice, olive oil, coriander, sugar, red pepper, and garlic into a smooth basting sauce. Thread bite-sized chicken on skewers, coat in the marinade, refrigerate for an hour, then grill on foil, basting several times. A quick, bold weeknight skewer.

Ingredients
  • 3 Tbsp. Peanuts, unsalted, chopped fine
  • 1/4 Cups Soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp. Lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp. Olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. Coriander
  • 1 Tbsp. Sugar
  • 3/4 tsp. Red pepper
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1 package Chicken breast, boned and cut in bite-sized pieces
Instructions
  1. 1
    Chop peanuts in a food processor. Add remaining ingredients and process until well blended.
  2. 2
    Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces. Thread onto skewers.
  3. 3
    Coat skewers with the peanut mixture. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. 4
    Place a sheet of foil on a barbecue grill. Put chicken skewers on the foil and baste several times during cooking.
  5. 5
    Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 10–15 minutes. Do not overcook — chicken cooks quickly in bite-sized pieces.

Note

Place a sheet of foil on the barbecue grill before adding the skewers — this prevents the peanut sauce from dripping onto the coals and flaring up.
