• If you don't have a grill, you can also cook the chicken skewers in a grill pan or broil them in the oven.
• Adjust the spiciness of the peanut sauce by adding more or less chili paste according to your preference.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover grilled chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the chicken in a microwave or oven until heated through before serving.
• The peanut sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Stir well before serving.
