1
Cut the chicken lengthwise into 1/4 inch (1/2 cm) strips- you'll get about 4 or 5 strips from each breast.
2
Thread these strips zigzag fashion onto bamboo skewers, about 3 or 4 strips per skewer. Don't squash the zigzags too tightly- leave them loosely threaded so the marinade can soak in.
3
Arrange the skewers in a glass baking dish. In a small bowl, combine the marinade ingredients& pour over the chicken skewers in the baking dish; allow to marinate, refrigerated, for at least one hour, but no longer than three or else the chicken will disintegrate.
4
Meanwhile, make the dipping sauce. In a blender combine all the sauce ingredients and blend until completely smooth.
5
Pour into a small bowl. Preheat the barbecue, then grill chicken skewers over medium heat, brushing lightly with the marinade, about 5 minutes per side.
