1
With meat mallet or bottom of heavy saucepan, pound each chicken breast half to 1/2-inch thickness between two pieces of waxed paper.
2
Cut breast lengthwise into 1-inch wide strips. In bowl or plastic storage bag, place chicken and remaining ingredients. Mix well.
3
Cover and refrigerate at least two hours, stirring or turning bag occasionally (the longer the marinating time the spicier the chicken).
4
Thread chicken strips on metal or bamboo skewers. If using bamboo skewers, soak in water to prevent charring when broiling. Brush generously with marinade.
5
Broil or grill 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until chicken is done and tender, brushing with marinade frequently. Serve hot with Peanut Sauce.
