Grilled Chicken Skewers

When you need something fast, easy, and delicious for entertaining or just feeding your family, these grilled chicken skewers are the answer. They're ridiculously simple as far as grilled chicken recipes go—just sprinkle some chicken tenders with a little salt and pepper, thread them on wooden skewers, and throw them on the grill until they get golden and juicy. Thirty minutes and you're done! I've cooked these for parties on a grill pan inside, and I've made them on an outdoor grill during the summer. Both methods work like a charm. Plus, kebab recipes like this make a great hearty appetizer or main course with some summer sides. I love serving the skewers with the creamy peanut sauce in this recipe (it comes together in seconds in a blender!), but you can also go with store-bought barbecue sauce for an even easier option. When I'm making these for guests, I usually serve it with both. That way everyone can dip how they please!

Can you make the peanut sauce ahead of time?

Sure! The peanut sauce can be made up to three days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If it thickens too much in the fridge, whisk in some hot water, a teaspoon at a time, until it is smooth and dippable.

How long do grilled chicken skewers last in the fridge?

The cooked chicken skewers will keep for up to three days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
