Preparation

Step 1

Make chicken: whisk coconut milk, fish sauce, curry, sugar, cilantro, salt and pepper. Put chicken in a large ziplock bag; pour in marinade. Seal and rub marinade into chicken. chill for 3 hours, turning bag occasionally.

Make sauce; combined soy sauce, vinegar, red pepper, sugar, ginger, sesame oil, peanut butter and broth in a pan and bring to a boil over medium heat, whisking until smooth, 2-3 minutes. Thin with more chicken broth, if desired. remove from heat, let cook cover and chill.

Preheat grill to medium.

Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. thread each piece of chicken onto a metal or a water-soaked bamboo skewer. Grill for 5-7 minutes, turning once, until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

Serve with sauce.
