A stylish and flavorful appetizer featuring marinated grilled chicken skewers served in shot glasses with creamy, spicy peanut sauce. Perfect for parties and gatherings.

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

1/4 cup fresh lime juice

2 tablespoons agave nectar

1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce

1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 lb boneless free-range chicken tenders, cut into large strips

Vegetable oil, for grilling

1/4 cup cilantro leaves, for garnish

Sliced habanero peppers, for garnish

Wooden skewers

For the Peanut Sauce:

3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter (reduced fat preferred)

1/4 cup light coconut milk

2 teaspoons fish sauce

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon crushed garlic

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1 tablespoon agave nectar

Instructions

  1. Whisk together lime juice, agave nectar, soy sauce, ginger, red pepper flakes, and garlic in a bowl.
  2. Add chicken strips, coat well, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the peanut sauce by mixing peanut butter, coconut milk, fish sauce, red pepper flakes, garlic, lime juice, and agave nectar until smooth.
  4. Thread marinated chicken onto wooden skewers.
  5. Heat a lightly oiled grill pan over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 3–4 minutes per side, until fully cooked and slightly charred.
  6. Pour some peanut sauce into individual shot glasses.
  7. Place one chicken skewer into each glass and garnish with cilantro leaves and a slice of habanero pepper.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning.

For a milder version, reduce red pepper flakes or omit habanero garnish.

Peanut sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the fridge.

Substitute almond butter for peanut butter for a different flavor.

For vegetarian, use tofu or vegetable skewers instead of chicken.
