Ingredients

1

pound boneless, skinless chicken breast halves or thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces

Chopped peanuts, if desired

1/3

cup crunchy peanut butter

1/3

cup boiling water

1

tablespoon grated gingerroot or 1 teaspoon ground ginger

1

tablespoon lemon juice

1/8

teaspoon crushed red pepper

Preparation

Brush grill rack with vegetable oil. Heat coals or gas grill for direct heat. Thread chicken pieces on four 10- to 12-inch metal skewers, leaving space between each piece.

Make Spicy Peanut Sauce; reserve 1/2 cup sauce to serve with cooked kabobs. Brush chicken with half of the remaining sauce.

Cover and grill kabobs 4 to 5 inches from medium heat about 15 minutes, turning and brushing occasionally with remaining sauce, until chicken is no longer pink in center. Serve kabobs with reserved sauce and the peanuts.
