Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients. Start by marinating the chicken. Put the chicken strips, garlic, ginger, lime zest and 1 tablespoon fish sauce in a ziplock bag. Mix until chicken is coated in the marinade. Set aside for at least 1 hour.
- Next, prepare the peanut dipping sauce. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots, garlic, and ginger and fry till the shallots begin to turn golden brown and the mixture smells awesome, about 5 minutes. Then, reduce heat to low, stir in the rest of the ingredients - peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce, lime juice and mix until well combined. Simmer very gently for 10 minutes and remove from heat. Stir in the lime zest. Keep warm mixture warm.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Thread chicken onto skewers. Grill chicken skewers until the meat is no longer pink in the center, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from heat. Serve with warm peanut dipping sauce.
