Peanut Sauce

  2. Heat grill to medium high heat. Drain chicken from the marinade; discard marinade. Thread chicken onto skewers. Brush with canola oil; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  3. Add skewers to grill, and cook, turning occasionally, until the chicken is completely cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F, about 12-15 minutes.  Serve with peanut sauce and suggested toppings.
