Ingredients

Method

1.Combine chicken, spices and half the oil in a large bowl; season. Cover; refrigerate for 1 hour.
2.Heat an oiled chargrill plate (or grill pan or barbecue).
3.Thread chicken onto 12 skewers (see tip). Cook skewers for 3 minutes each side or until chicken is cooked through.
4.Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a small saucepan; cook onion and ginger, stirring, for 1 minute or until onion softens. Add coconut cream, peanut butter, sauces and peanuts; simmer, stirring, for 1 minute. (Sauce may separate on standing, but will come back together again when stirred before serving.)
5.Heat rice according to packet directions.
6.Serve chicken skewers with peanut sauce, rice, cucumber wedges and chilli. If you like, serve with lime cheeks and top with fresh coriander leaves.

You can use bamboo skewers instead of metal skewers, if you prefer. Soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to stop them from burning during cooking, or wrap the ends in foil.
