Peanut Chicken Skewers With Chili Mayonnaise

Makes 24

Ingredients

3/4 cup salted roasted peanuts,finely chopped

1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro or flat-leaf parsley

kosher salt and black pepper

2 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into 24 thin strips

3 tablespoons canola oil

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1to 2 teaspoons Asian chili-garlic sauce

24 6-inch bamboo skewers

Directions

On a large plate, combine the peanuts, bread crumbs, cilantro, and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Thread each strip of chicken onto a skewer and coat with the peanut mixture, pressing gently to help it adhere.

In batches, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook the skewers until golden, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate as they are cooked and add more oil to the skillet as necessary.

In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and chili-garlic sauce. Serve with the chicken.
