For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the peanut sauce. If you don't have fresh ginger on hand, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of ground ginger. The longer the chicken marinates, the more flavorful it will be. However, avoid marinating for more than 24 hours, as the acid in the lime juice can start to break down the chicken. Serve the kabobs with a side of coconut rice and grilled vegetables for a complete meal.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels, cut them into 1 1/2-inch chunks, and sprinkle with salt. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
Step
2 hrs
In a bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lime zest, ginger, salt, and pepper until smooth. Place the chicken in a resealable plastic bag, add the marinade, seal, and massage the bag until all the chicken pieces are coated. Refrigerate to marinate for at least 2 hours, or up to overnight. (Prep time: 10 minutes + 2 hours to overnight marinating)
03
Step
30 mins
Soak 6-inch wooden skewers in a bowl of water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill. (Prep time: 30 minutes soaking)
04
Step
5 mins
In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and sambal oelek. Slowly whisk in small amounts of warm water until the dipping sauce reaches your desired consistency. Set aside. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
06
Step
10 mins
Remove the chicken from the marinade and thread the chicken onto the skewers. Discard the used marinade. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
07
Step
11 mins
Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear, about 10 to 12 minutes, lowering the heat if the chicken is browning too quickly. Turn the skewers frequently for even browning and to prevent burning. (Cook time: 10-12 minutes)
08
Step
2 mins
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with fresh lime wedges and the prepared peanut sauce for dipping. Enjoy! (Prep time: 2 minutes)
