Instructions

• 1 Cut the chicken thighs into bite-size pieces/rectangular or square pieces.
  Season with curry powder, garlic powder, white pepper and a little salt. Rub all
  over and add to a bowl. Drizzle with the remaining marinade ingredients and mix
  through to coat evenly. Leave to marinate for at least 10-15 minutes (can be
  done ahead of time and left in the fridge).
• 2 Prepare the peanut sauce. You can use a food processor or a blender to blend the
  sauce ingredients until smooth. Alternatively. melt the peanut butter in a
  microwave or over hot water. Combine with the remaining ingredients and whisk
  until smooth. Taste for salt/sweet/acidity balance. You may need to add a little
  more sweetener or lime juice or salt/fish sauce. Should be sweet but not too
  much.
• 3 Thread the chicken pieces onto bamboo or metal skewers.
• 4 Heat up a grill pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil,
  and spread it around the pan.
• 5 When the oil is hot, add the chicken skewers and cook for 4-5 minutes on each
  side until cooked through.
• 6 Place the cooked skewers on a platter with peanut sauce, then garnish with
  crushed peanuts, red chilli, coriander, and lime wedges. You can also have some
  shaved cucumber salad on the platter.
