Ingredients

Chicken

½ cup (125 mL) natural peanut butter, preferably crunchy
¼ cup (60 mL) soy sauce
¼ cup (60 mL) lime juice
2 tbsp (30 mL) Thai curry paste, red or green
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
20 to 24 6-inch (15-cm) wooden skewers
salt, to taste
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped peanuts
1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped coriander

Directions

In a medium bowl, whisk peanut butter with soy sauce, lime juice and curry paste until well blended.

Slice chicken lengthwise into ½-inch (1-cm) thick strips. Add chicken to peanut butter mixture and stir to coat well. Refrigerate chicken in marinade mixture for at least 2 hours before skewering, but preferably overnight.

Soak skewers in water. Oil grill and preheat to medium. Remove chicken from marinade and roll each strip into a spiral, inserting a skewer through each spiral to hold like a lollipop. The end pieces will be smaller, so roll with another strip. Sprinkle with salt.

Place on grill and barbecue, turning once, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Serve on a platter, sprinkled with peanuts and coriander.
