In this recipe, I used chicken thighs and marinated it in coconut milk and a blend of spices. Then, the chicken pieces are skewered and grilled. A simple peanut sauce is prepared using lime, peanut butter, and coconut milk . Overall, I was happy with how easy this was to make and how the peanut sauce perfectly complements the chicken skewers. Enjoy!
