• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon sriracha
• 50 ml water
• 2 tablespoons peanuts
• 12 pieces bamboo skewers

Directions

Step 1

1. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

4. Pour the marinade over the chicken strips and stir to ensure they're well-coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.

Step 7

7. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 8

8. Thread the marinated chicken strips onto the soaked bamboo skewers.

Step 9

9. Grill the chicken skewers for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until thoroughly cooked and slightly charred.
