Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut chicken thighs into 1-inch chunks. Thread onto metal or wooden skewers, dividing evenly between 4 skewers.

  2. Step 2

    In a small bowl, whisk peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, fish sauce, and sriracha until smooth.

  3. Step 3

    Reserve half the sauce for serving. Brush remaining sauce onto skewered chicken, coating all sides.

  4. Step 4

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear skewers 8–10 minutes total, turning every 2 minutes until edges are charred and chicken cooks through.

  5. Step 5

    Transfer skewers to a plate. Warm reserved peanut sauce in the same skillet for 30 seconds, stirring.

  6. Step 6

    Serve skewers and summer rolls alongside the warm peanut sauce for dipping.
