Instructions
- In a bowl, mix together the peanut butter, garlic, tamari, sesame oil, white wine vinegar, half of the green onions, cilantro, ground ginger and salt.
- Add the chopped chicken to the peanut sauce, toss until evenly coated. If you have time, allow it to marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- When ready to cook, heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a wire rack on top of a rimmed baking sheet and spray it with a little oil.
- Thread the marinated chicken onto skewers, lay onto the wire rack and place into the hot oven to bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken has cooked through.
- Serve with sliced cucumber, garnished with chopped peanuts and red pepper flakes.
