Time: 25 min.
Complexity: easily
Quantity: 20-25 skewers

These kebabs are made with chicken fingers, or tender parts of chicken breast, which cook very quickly. Just a few minutes on the grill, and they're ready to serve. Thread them onto wooden skewers before serving. You can grill them or use a grill pan. No spices are used in the preparation of the meat itself. But the Asian-inspired peanut dipping sauce adds a wonderful flavor to these kebabs. It perfectly combines notes of peanut, ginger, soy sauce, honey, lime, and hot pepper, resulting in a unique, multi-faceted taste.
