To cook under broiler
- Line a large baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup, then place a rack on the baking sheet and spray with cooking spray or brush with oil. Arrange the chicken skewers in an even layer on the rack.
- Move oven rack to highest position and turn on broiler. When broiler is hot, place baking sheet on top rack.
- Broil chicken for 2-3 minutes, until starting to brown. Flip chicken and cook another 2-3 minutes, or until chicken is cooked.

Notes
- Nutrition facts do not include peanut sauce.
- I recommend serving this with my Best Thai Peanut Sauce, but use your favorite store bought peanut sauce if you prefer!
- Feel free to use chicken thighs if you prefer, however, the cooking time will be longer.
- Peanut sauce can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.
