These chicken skewers are so easy yet so delicious I don't know why I don't make them more often. The thigh of the chicken has a little more flavor than the breast and the light seasoning will get super crispy on the grill. If I being honest the peanut sauce is so good you will try to find something to dip all the extra sauce in. I think my next recipe will include more proteins or veggies I can grill to pair with it because it is "that good."
