Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by cutting 1 pound of boneless chicken thighs or breasts into thin strips, about 1 inch wide.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, blend soy sauce, brown sugar, coconut milk, curry powder, minced garlic, and lime juice.
  3. Add chicken strips, coat well, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 15 minutes and preheat grill to medium-high.
  5. In a saucepan, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and coconut milk over medium heat.
  6. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes, adding chili paste if desired.
  7. Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked skewers, leaving space for even cooking.
  8. Grill skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side until charred and cooked through.
  9. Remove from heat, let rest, and serve with peanut sauce.
