Step 1
Cut chicken into 1-inch cubes. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes while you prep.
Step 2
Thread chicken onto skewers, leaving 1/4-inch gaps between pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Heat a cast iron skillet or grill to high. Sear skewers 2–3 minutes per side until charred and cooked through.
Step 4
While chicken cooks, whisk peanut butter, coconut milk, fish sauce, lime juice, ginger, and brown sugar in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 5
Transfer skewers to a plate. Drizzle with peanut sauce and serve immediately with extra sauce on the side.
